The Christmas Train coming to Hallmark Channel

Hopefully also on at other times. Taking my wife to a show that night for her birthday.

Hallmark channel routinely reruns their movies several times after the debut .  Sometimes as soon as the next day as a leadin to that nights movie premier. 

Hallmark has been running Christmas shows since a week ago.  I think it will be on again.  And again.  And again.

Real or model trains in storyline?

Real...

I have the audio book. It's an ok story, but light on RR content IMHO.

Thanks for the heads up - I will DVR it.  I enjoyed the book and am taking hope in your comment about the quality as the usual Hallmark movies are right on par with soap operas in my experience.

David Baldacci's "The Christmas Train" has been produced as part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame, and will air November 25th.  The Hall of Fame series is a cut above the usual Hallmark Channel fare.  I read the book about ten years ago, and found it simple but enjoyable.

Usual Hallmark Channel Fare?  Didn't know there was different levels of cheesy movies.  LOLI'm sure my wife will have it DVR'd, she watches these movies religiously every season.

Yes, Gary... The Hallmark Hall of Fame movies are usually a step or two above, with better casts, and nobody named Holly, Eve, Kris, etc... and no plot lines regarding a single mom going to her home town only to run into her high school sweetheart and getting married to him on Christmas Eve... which is the plot to all the other movies...

I'm not a Baldacci fan at all. I've read this one and wasn't impressed and the other one that they made into a movie that I refused to watch. I might start watching this one, but, I'll keep the channel changer in hand.

Oh, KOOL noticed that about the no plot lines too??  I thought it was just me.  LMAO!  

My wife recently filled several screens on the DVR full of Christmas Hallmark stuff.    How can they make that many shows with the same story line???

The Hallmark storylines are okay with me.  Most times they are predictable.  My favorites for predictability are the fictional police/ncis/law and order plots and storyline where everything falls into place on que.  I specially like the ncis scenes where they all line up in a group brainstorming session and in order they all ontribute one magical piece of information they just happen to have.  Quite a departure from the forensic files type show.
