Cimon Art launches 2 one-of-a-kind crystallized LEGO holiday train sculptures

Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Joining in on the holiday celebrations, Cimon Art presents 2 one-of-a-kind crystallized LEGO® Holiday Train sculptures. Designed to appeal to adults and children alike, each sculpture is intricately embellished with Swarovski® crystals.

Renowned artist Cimon has transformed two average LEGO® train sets into moving sculptures, metalizing and enhancing each train to give it a unique look. The Gold Express is a contemporary express train.  The Silver Steam is an old world steam locomotive.  Each set is ready to begin circling a Christmas tree or other holiday landscapes. They are holiday collectibles that are destined to become family heirlooms.  

The Gold Express measures 40 inches (1.02 meters) long by 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. It includes the engine, two passenger carriages with passengers and one holiday freight carriage filled with gifts and holiday trees made from LEGO® bricks.

The Silver Steam measures 44 inches (1.12 meters) long by 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide and includes the engine, one passenger carriage with passengers and two holiday freight carriages filled with gifts and holiday trees made from LEGO® bricks.

Each train is battery operated and comes with a remote control, 40 pieces of LEGO® rail tracks to run a square track with a length of 58 inches (1.47 meters).  The Gold Express is available for purchase on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160681... and the Silver Express is available for purchase on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160681....
