Hi, I am looking to buy my 1 year old daughter an LGB Christmas Starter Set.
I have LGB running round the tree since 1996. I would like to buy one for her in the year she was born. She was born December, 2003.
That means I am looking for the Christmas Starter Set that LGB was selling as their latest Christmas Starter Set as of last year.
Could someone provide me with a link, and or LGB Model #... so I can start trying to track it down via e-bay/etc... Thanx, and happy holidays.

Is this just 'commemorative' or do you intend for your daughter to actually play with the set? If the latter, consider getting her a Brio-type wooden set. These sets are much more 'toddler-friendly' that the LGB sets (which are either plastic junk or else not recommended for young children).

According to the poster-size 2003 LGB sheet the hobby shop gave me, there were two sets:
#72534 includes a red & black European style 0-4-0T with two 4-wheel European narrow gauge style passenger coaches (one red & cream and one all red)
#72554 includes the same loco as above with a red 4-wheel European style open goods wagon (i.e. gondola) and a red US style 4-wheel cupola caboose.
Thank you kindly gentlemen. The set is to be used( not simply commemorative ).
I have tracked one down, and am in process to purchase. I appreciate the help; have a good holiday season.
