In the movie there are usually 5 coaches in most scenes, so 5 is the ideal number. BUT... The coaches in the movie are shorter, Lionel's coaches are not like the ones in the movie, they are simply long coaches painted in the Polar Express color scheme, So with 3 of those long coaches it looks just as impressive as if it had 5 short coaches.
I think you are right, 3 around the tree and 5 on the layout. I do love the look of the loco, but I hate the chuf-chuf. Thank you for sharing, love the video.
I have never been more jealous! Id love one of them, especially eith the extra coaches, but i simply dont have the money! Loving the advent calendar by the way lee :) merry christmas!
I'll be picky and say 4 coaches makes the train set complete, both round the Christmas tree and on your bigger railway. You see, when it comes to rolling stock, I don't do odd numbers. I do everything in pairs. Merry Christmas.
Great video, where did you purchase this as no company that i could find imports to the Uk, i contacted Lionel and they said unfortunately due to the licensing they are umable to sell any polar express products out of Usa and Canada.

The movie depicts 5 coaches, so i agree with the movie.

With the new LionChief sets they fixed the chuffing and sound like a legacy engine just look up the new Halloween trains set or the nickel plate road

The box says lionchief but this is S gauge no? Something is off here.

O gauge is my preference

I really need to investigate that DCC controller instead of using a step down converter.
Is the HO track power supply different to the O gauge track?
