Themed Collectible Trains

Cross Over Collectibles

Model train purists may shun this idea, but Hawthrone Village has entered licensing

New York Yankees Express Major League Baseball Train Collection

agreements with all professional and some college baseball, football, basketball and hockey teams to produce HO Scale trains bearing the logos and colors of your favorite teams.

The idea is to create a cross over collectible - one that draws the model train hobbyist who is also a sports enthusiast, movie buff, fireman, policeman or Marine.

These are high quality metal bodied trains meant for either display or to be made part of your layout. Depending on your interests, the sets come with either double diesel or steam powered locomotive models.

So you can get a New York Yankee or Boston Red Sox baseball themed set: or a Pittsburg Steeler or New York Giant football train themed set, etc.

All major league baseball and football teams are represented.

Coverage of professional hockey and basketball teams seem limited although major teams like the Los Angeles Lakers are available.

USMC Express Train Collection

As for colleges, Duke, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and USC are available.

NASCAR is also represented.

However, the manufacurers have taken this idea even further.

You can buy US Marine Corps or Navy train sets: sets dedicated to Firefighters, Policemen, The Spirit of America, Texas Pride, the Civil War and more.

If you want a train set dedicated to Elvis, Johnny Cash or John Wayne, you can get them.

If you're into movies, Spiderman, Batman, Star Trek and Lord of the Rings are just some of the titles available.

This is, of course, an ideal way to bridge your love of trains with your love of sports, movies, your job and more.

The trains are high quality, colorful, sought after colectibles. There are over 317 variations available so use the search box below to find your favorite.
