### Image Notes
In a peaceful mountain clearing, you can hear the deer walking on the cold snow. If you listen carefully, you might hear a steam locomotive approaching. The sun is setting behind the peaks, the train is shining in the fading light, and Santa is on his way to the cottage to deliver Christmas gifts.
Thomas Kinkade Studios presents the 'Christmas Light Express', a new collaboration with Lionel Trains. This painting honors our founder, Thomas Kinkade. Thom grew up in the Sierra Mountains in Northern California, loving nature. One Christmas, he got a Lionel train set, which sparked his imagination about far - away rail adventures.

### Key Points
- 'Christmas Light Express' is the fourth art collaboration between Lionel and Thomas Kinkade Studios. The previous ones were 'All Aboard for Christmas', 'Santa's Special Delivery', and 'A Christmas Wish'.
- The painting is inspired by a Christmas gift Thom received in his youth - a Lionel train set in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This gift made him dream of long rail trips.
- The train in the painting is similar to one of Lionel's best - selling train sets, the Christmas Light Express.
- The Christmas Light Express train set captures the magic of Lionel and recalls the first Thomas Kinkade and Lionel art collaboration, 'All Aboard for Christmas'. The tender has the words 'Lionel Lines', just like in the 2012 painting.
- The train has 'Christmas' on the tender and 'Holidays' on the boxcar. Many families and train collectors think Christmas isn't complete without a Lionel train under the tree.
- If you look closely, the cottage chimney has an icon 'L' for Lionel.
- Santa in the scene adds to the holiday spirit, and Santa is Lionel's top influencer!
To use this beautiful Thomas Kinkade Gallery Wrapped Canvas, find a great spot in your home like your living room, bedroom, or hallway. You can hang it alone as a focal point or group it with other art pieces for a gallery - style look. Just use a proper wall - hanging tool and make sure it's secure.
When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth every now and then. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the canvas. If it gets dirty, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but be very careful not to soak the canvas.
Also, handle the canvas with clean hands to prevent fingerprints or dirt from getting on it. And store it in a dry place if you ever need to take it down for a while.
