Train Engine Locomotive Porcelain Limoges Box

A train engine, built for power and speed, takes center stage in this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France. It honors the machine that tied distant towns together and carried generations of travelers.

Full Steam Ahead

Locomotives transformed the 19th century, cutting journeys of weeks down to days. The engine here is painted by hand, so the colors, trim and small details vary a little from one box to the next.

Who Rides the Rails

It is a fitting present for a railroad worker, a train set hobbyist, or a grandparent who loves telling stories of the old passenger lines. It is also a fun souvenir of a scenic excursion train, a Polar Express ride, or a journey across Europe by rail.

Yard and Roundhouse

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A classic for a train, railroad or travel collection
• Pairs with the locomotive on track, caboose and station boxes

Display it on a mantel among holiday greenery, in a den near model trains, or on a desk with a vintage timetable. It looks especially good beside the locomotive on track from this same collection, like two engines waiting at the depot.
