Lego 10254 Winter Holiday Train

Last Christmas I was looking at what Lego Christmas trains existed.  I found the 10254 Winter Holiday Train but it was no longer produced and cost hundreds even second hand.  

But recently I was able to borrow it off Jo (originally Riley's) so that I could note any missing pieces so they could do it next Christmas.

It was a super fun build, I really enjoyed it.  There were quite a few pieces missing but I was able to substitute or replace some of them with Vic's.  The rest I bought online.  Bricklink make it really easy to buy out parts on a wishlist - you just say "buy" and it'll bring up a list of sellers that have the pieces you need.  Awesome!  Found a reasonably priced seller that didn't have a minimum buy.  It was only about dollar's worth of Lego and like four dollars postage.

When you move the carriage the tree will turn around, and there's a little tiny train under the tree that goes around with it!  Very cool!

The presents are super cute - I really liked the tiny fire engine and boat
