HO Gauge is one of the most widespread model railway scales in the world, and the HO Gauge Christmas train sets are an abundance of fun. The 1:87 scale is extremely versatile and produced by a wide variety of manufacturers. This model gauge was first used in the 1930s in the United Kingdom, but it skyrocketed in popularity once it came to the United States. After the late 1950s, HO scale predominated in the U. S. and in continental Europe. Trains, buildings, tracks, and accessories in HO scale Christmas holiday train sets feature an impressive level of detail.

Bachmann manufactures a great assortment of HO Gauge Christmas train sets, including the beautifully painted and intricately detailed White Christmas Express - which is just right for going around your Christmas tree or on a nearby train table.

HO track is realistic and fun to put together. It typically consists of two rails, powered by direct current (DC) - though some German-manufactured HO tracks will be powered by an alternating current (AC) which comes from a smaller third rail along the track's center. Most HO Gauge Christmas train sets will have "snap track" which can do just what the name suggests: snap together into whatever layout your imagination can furnish. When you want to create different HO layouts, just disconnect the track pieces and snap them together in a new arrangement.

The great thing about HO Gauge Christmas train sets is the sheer volume of the selection. Wm. K.
