Description
This steam train snow globe pairs a cheerful red and black locomotive with a clear globe holding a little Christmas scene. Inside, a nutcracker soldier in a red jacket and tall black hat holds a wrapped gift beside a snow-dusted tree topped with a gold star, while a small reindeer with a wreath at its neck and a red bird on its back stands by a pile of presents. The engine has a black boiler banded in gold, a holly wreath tied with a red bow, gold-trimmed chimneys and silver spoked wheels joined by coupling rods. The red body beneath the globe reads MERRY CHRISTMAS in white lettering on one side and carries white snowflakes on the other. Made from resin, it stands 16cm tall, 19.5cm across and 8.5cm deep.
At only 8.5cm deep, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a sideboard, and it is just as at home on a hall table. Set it at eye level so the scene inside can be enjoyed close up; a gentle shake sends the snow swirling around the nutcracker and his friends. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, and it is a lovely piece to bring out each December alongside garlands and greenery.
The resin body is moulded with plenty of fine detail, from the ribbed cowcatcher at the front to the gold bands around the boiler, and its flat base lets it stand steadily on any level surface with no fixings needed. To care for it, dust the train with a soft dry cloth and wipe the globe gently with a soft cloth to keep it clear, keeping it away from radiators and strong sun. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful present to open at the start of Advent, ready to take pride of place for the whole season.
