The Large Series

---

It appears that Hallmark only dabbled in these larger sized collectibles on a one time basis, in 1998.

I guess one of the factors that led to Hallmark only trying this once, is that, at the time in 1998, for $100-$120, you could still go and buy a operating HO scale engine - although it would not come with a display case and other collectable items like the pamphlet.

Common traits of the FIVE engines in this family are:
- They are non-powered, non-operating collectables
- They are HO scale in size
- A certificate of authenticity
- A descriptive Pamphlet
- It appears that each model was a limited run of 29,000 pieces
- The models came with a display case:
--- Wood grained plastic base
--- Model sits on a 3-rail Lionel type track with a black center rail
--- Brass nameplate
--- The cover has a Hallmark medallion on the top

The N&W steam engine and Santa Fe/REA car did not come with a display case, only a section of track to sit the display on, but as far as I can tell, did have a certificate of authenticity.  It seems kind of funny, that in naming this series the "Norfolk and Western Train Series", that the one car they did make as part of this series, was not an N&W car! :-)  Go figure.....

In addition, many retailers would give you the advertising placard for the model if you bought that last one they had, I was able to scoop up two of them.

Disclaimers:

I love trains, and I love signals.  I am not an expert.  My webpages reflect what I find on the topic of the page.  This is something I have fun with while trying to help others.

Please Note:  Since the main focus of my two websites is railroad signals, the railfan guides are oriented towards the signal fan being able to locate them.  For those of you into the modeling aspect of our hobby, my indexa page has a list of almost everything railroad oriented I can think of to provide you with at least a few pictures to help you detail your pike.

If this is a railfan page, every effort has been made to make sure that the information contained on this map and in this railfan guide is correct.  Once in a while, an error may creep in :-)

My philosophy: Pictures and maps are worth a thousand words, especially for railfanning.  Text descriptions only get you so far, especially if you get lost or disoriented.  Take along good maps.... a GPS is OK to get somewhere, but maps are still better if you get lost!  I belong to AAA, which allows you to get local maps for free when you visit the local branches.  ADC puts out a nice series of county maps for the Washington DC area, but their state maps do not have the railroads on them.  If you can find em, I like the National Geographic map book of the U.S..... good, clear, and concise graphics, and they do a really good job of showing you where tourist type attractions are, although they too lack the railroads.  Other notes about specific areas will show up on that page if known.

Aerial shots were taken from either Google or Bing Maps as noted.  Screen captures are made with Snagit, a Techsmith product... a great tool if you have never used it! 

By the way, floobydust is a term I picked up 30-40 years ago from a National Semiconductor data book, and means miscellaneous and/or other stuff.

Pictures and additional information is always needed if anyone feels inclined to take 'em, send 'em, and share 'em, or if you have something to add or correct.... credit is always given!  Please be NICE!!!  Contact info is here

Beware: If used as a source, ANYTHING from Wikipedia must be treated as being possibly inaccurate, wrong, or not true.
