The sun has started to set behind the tallest peaks, the train is glistening in the fading light, and Santa is making his final descent to deliver the Christmas gifts to the family living in the serene cottage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThomas Kinkade Studios presents, \u003cb\u003eChristmas Light Express\u003c\/b\u003e, our newest collaboration with Lionel Trains. With this painting we pay tribute to our founder, Thomas Kinkade. Thom grew up in the Sierra Mountains in Northern California with fascination for nature and the world around him. One special Christmas a young Thom was gifted a Lionel train set. Blessed with a wonderful vivid imagination he would dream of faraway places and the adventures in rail travel one might have to reach them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e©Lionel, LLC ©The Thomas Kinkade Estate.

This is important to Lionel, as many families and train collectors feel that “Christmas is not complete until they have their Lionel train under the tree.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIf you look closely, the cottage has a nod to Lionel with icon L positioned on the chimney.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHaving Santa in the scene adds to the overall “Magic” and spirit of the season.
