Train station ornament
Cute lit scene inside
Travel to Town Via Halls Station
With cars and so many other ways to travel these days, it is
rare for a city to have a train station any more. But the buildings in Hallmark’s Keepsake
Korners are inspired by the popular Nostalgic Homes and Shops series, so it
makes sense one of the buildings would be Halls Station.
Yes, this is essentially a building. It’s a two story brick building with a green
roof. Nice of them to have Christmas
colors, right? Halls Station is on the
sign on the roof. These ornaments are
slightly bigger than the official ornaments in the Nostalgic Homes and Shops
series.
What sets these ornaments apart are the windows. Instead of having an open back with a display
inside, these are set up with a scene in the window. We can see in the foreground a toy train in
the window. That is appropriate,
right? This train is the tie in to
another series since it looks like the eighth ornament in the Tin Locomotive
series from 1989. I hadn’t heard of this
series since I start collecting years later, but I find those things so much
fun.
I love ornaments that light up inside, and this is one of
those. When you stick a light in the
back of the ornament, you can better see the painting on the back of the
ornament which shows three boys playing with a model train display while an
employee looks on from behind a counter.
It’s a really cute scene and a lot of fun. We can also see the light shining from the
upper windows, but there is no scene inside them.
Naturally, this ornament has a nice flat base. I would hope any building would. The hook for hanging the ornament is on the
roof, and it tips ever so very slightly to one side and the back. It’s very slight, and you’ll only notice it
if you are looking for it.
I was on the fence about the Keepsake Korners ornaments
until I saw them in person. I’m really
enjoying the light up pictures inside, and Halls Station is no exception.
Fans of this ornament will enjoy the official Nostalgic Homes and Shops ornaments.
