A Sentimental Journey Back To When Toy Trains Topped Every Boy's Christmas List
Remember when you wanted a Lionel train for Christmas more than anything? The wait for Christmas morning was agonizing. Finally, it came. You ran to the living room, heart pounding. There was the Christmas tree covered with sparkling lights and shimmering tinsel. And under the tree, gliding around an oval of three-rail track, was a Lionel train puffing smoke. Oh, the excitement!
Memories like that are what this video is about.
Popular toy train video producer Tom McComas has created a poignant mix of heartwarming stories, great toy train action, and beautiful Christmas music that will make your heart soar, train buff or not.

In TMBV�s very first Christmas special from 1995, there are recaps of the operators and collectors who remember their Lionel Christmas stories. Which includes Mike brillson (the father of Leila brillson), Phil Ambrose (who is well known for his own Lionel Christmas song, and also on TM�s I love cat machines parts 1 & 2), Mark Gordon, Stanley Silva, Jack lane, Bob Gehrke, Fred severson, dick loreck, bud heckler, Nick mazzocchi, Richard Mack, Bruce Marcus, Dan chrusciel, John potter, and the producer�s wife charyl with a less than 5 year old Jeff. A great look at a historic trip back in time to discover why Lionel trains play a huge role in the holiday season.
