TRAIN TIME: K-Line #K-1715B Hershey's Holiday Express Set (1997) - Pt 4 K-Line #K-624502 Hershey's Hugs n' Kisses Hopper (1994)

The Holiday Express set consists of a mix of previously released, separate sale items as well as new items made for the set only - like the ALCO engine's. This Hugs n' Kisses hopper was a separate sale item first cataloged in 1994. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

TRAIN TIME: K-LIne #K-6735A Reese's Pieces Hauling Cars 4-Pac (1995)

I had bought one of these sets many years ago, then ended up selling it. In a fit of seller's remorse I ended up having to buy another set! Fortunately, there was little price disparity between the first set and the second set. The Reese's Pieces loads are vacu-formed inserts and can be removed to place real candy in the car. Each car in the set has a different road number on the side, but when doing the photo essay I decided to keep it simple and only do one car. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

TRAIN TIME: K-Line #K-673506 Hauling Car (Silver)

Here's the second 'hauling car' in the Hershey's work train set. This time in a nice Hershey's Kisses silver. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
