Christmas train: the convoy that brings holiday magic to life under the tree
Picture the scene. The tree lights softly twinkle, gifts pile up, and right there on the floor, a small train looks ready to roll. Car after car, you bring this 3D papercraft model to life with its charming retro feel. The locomotive gains volume, the chimney rises, and the wagon opens up to endless ideas: treats, mini decorations, tiny characters.
Once in place, this train becomes the heart of the décor. You walk around it to place presents, it stands out in every photo, and before long, children invent stories around it. Its low poly style, clear shapes and bold colors recall vintage toys, with a contemporary touch that fits perfectly with Christmas papercraft decorations.
