Based on the movie, the Lionel Polar Express Train Set is really quite a nice train set and a great gift for anyone. This excellent starter set comes ready to run and is actually of an unexpectedly high quality for such an entry level set. Lionel really came up with a winner here and this is clearly evident by the year round popularity
