The Christmas Railway set (V0420) is the only set I know of that was exclusive to the Fisher-Price catalog. If that’s accurate, this theoretically should be a rather scarce set to come by. Far more people bought their GeoTrax sets at retail stores. Only a relatively small number would have bought this set from the catalog. Many probably weren’t even aware of its existence, back in the day.
If the layout above looks familiar, that’s because this is really a re-themed version of the Timbertown Railway set (P1370). The majority of the pieces came from the same mold. They are simply painted differently to reflect the Christmas theme.
There’s lots of red and green, and the mountain and the track have white for snow. The evergreen tree has Christmas lights, and the cube of logs turns into a blue Christmas present with a red bow.
Samuel the engineer becomes Santa Claus and acquires an Elf as a helper.
Even the buildings in the Easy Rail Station turn into Santa’s Workshop.
The train now has the label of the North Pole Express.
