AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM.. This is it – the entire Hallmark collection (Yearly Series Entry PLUS Official Companion Pieces) of 79 beautiful re-creations of steel-horse history, from #1 “700E Hudson Steam Locomotive” in 1996 to 2024s “Union Pacific Legacy SD70ACE” (29th year in the series)! Perfect for an early Christmas, in time to decorate the tree this year! What a remarkable gift of history to present to that train lover. You will receive ALL of the “Lionel Trains” basic-yearly series from Hallmark Keepsake Collection, probably near impossible to find all together in one spot. PLUS, those pieces recognized as being chief companion pieces for the locomotives. This does NOT include special extra editions in certain years, for example the “repainted” engines of 2018 and 2020. In 2005 they expanded to four pieces, but went back to three pieces a year from 2006 to this year’s as well (2024). Some of the most notable editions include The Norfolk and Western Steam Locomotive (1999); The Blue Comet series (2002); The Union Pacific “Veranda” series (2006); The Freedom Train 2007 – commemorating American history! ; and 2018’s “Texas Special”. The boxes are undamaged and, again, in perfect condition. This is your chance to benefit from the 29-year effort of someone else on (as it turns out) your behalf! Plus, Hallmark isn’t done. You can continue to complete the collection until they produce that final year at some point in the future! See pictures for the details of the 79 different ornaments in this collection: the ornaments are arranged in order of year (from 1996 to 2024) and you will be able to see the “brand new” condition of this set. Again, pulling this complete series together in this condition may be nigh impossible, this is the chance to fully deck out that tree for the train lover in a powerful way AND which may lead to building an even greater collection one day as Hallmark continues to produce these beautiful renditions. Get it all together in one place for less, and in perfect condition! NOTE: The last picture is of 1999’s and 2000’s companion pieces photographed separately. These are included in the total of 79 ornaments!
