Welcome to the Holiday edition of
Historic Rail. And what an edition it is!
I’ve written for years about the traditional
connection between trains and Christmas,
and now – from Santa Racing the
Canadian Pacific in the front to the
Christmas trains in the back – I believe
we’ve put together our best Holiday catalog ever.
The first thing you’ll notice is that nearly half the products inside are new to
Historic Rail, never having appeared on
these pages before. Dozens of new books,
dozens of new DVDs, over 300 new models, and much more are here, including
hard-to-find items such as railfan blankets
and wooden display boxes (page 53),
railroad police cars (page 58), and a
20th Century Limited locomotive (page 64).
There are also calendars, Christmas cards,
jigsaw puzzles, prints, posters and signs…
You name it, we’ve got it!
And when I say we’ve “got it,” I mean
value, too. How about DVDs for only
$
9.95? You’ll find nearly two dozen of
them on page 50. Want a deal on a model
locomotive? How about $100 off! That’s
here, too.
In short, there’s never been a better time
to dig into Historic Rail and order the
items that you desire. So look through the
catalog, find everything you want for yourself and for the lucky railfans on your holiday gift list, and call to order today.
Have a great holiday
and Happy New Year.

P.S. We can ship directly to your gift
recipients and even include personalized
