Klaus had become a very close ally to LGB. Even friends of Rolf Richter or Johannes Richter might have been given different gifts. This extremely private circle included only those who had everyday direct access to Wolfgang Richter, Klaus Baumann and Günter Ruhland. LGB started bestowing Christmas gifts to a very close circle of business friends early on as was tradition especially in Western Germany. Therefore the tie and scarf have never been unpacked/touched! The original LGB box is slightly used. Klaus, being the consummate collector kept it pristine and complete. This Christmas Car is not cataloged.This rare limited edition 1996 Christmas Car had an edition volume of 50! This makes it hard to imagine any other complete set to be available out there.
Two candy cane sticks covered in Christmas greenery embellish the white window side bars. This extremely rare car features a silver roof and a white/blue passenger car compartment displaying "THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN" in golden letters, a snowed in Bavarian house surrounded by snow covered fir trees on blue background.
