Description: The very 1st Christmas Train set was introduced with the 1998 exclusive #72698 Christmas Train. The train was given a bit of an upgrade with battery operated 'musical' train engine.

Mrs. Clause turned the caboose into her kitchen. She has a lovely stove and oven with a fold-down oven door that reveals three fresh-baked gingerbread cookies inside. Requires 2 "LR44" button cell batteries. Designed for children ages 1-1/2 years and older.
