ongratulations on your purchase of the ready-to-run Neiman Marcus Holiday Express Train Set!
This set features everything you need to get started—a mighty CW-80 Transformer, a huge loop

of easy-to-assemble FasTrack track, a string of detailed cars, and a powerful Lionel locomotive. 

Have fun growing with this complete train set! Start with the set components, then follow

your imagination into your own miniature world. Expand your railroad empire with addition-
al FasTrack track sections, enhance your layout with accessories, lengthen your consist with
extra cars, or operate a new locomotive at the head end of your train! Explore the possibilities
at your authorized Lionel dealer.

Use this Owner’s Manual to learn how to set up, operate, and maintain your train set for

years of reliable operation. 

For optimal sound quality, the doors on your Musical Boxcar have been sealed in

the closed position. If you choose to open the doors, you must first remove the foam
and adhesive on the inside of each door. 

The transformer included with this set should be periodically
examined for conditions that may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the
output cord, blades, housing, or other parts). In the event that
such conditions exist, the transformer should not be used until
properly repaired.
