The Longaberger team of basket designers has truly outdone themselves with the Collector’s Longaberger Express Locomotive—a playful blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and nostalgic charm.

This distinctive design brings together four individual baskets to form a beautifully detailed locomotive, complete with a train body, cab, and smokestack. Thoughtfully crafted from American maple and finished with classic red-and-black weaving, it captures the timeless appeal of a vintage toy train. A brushed gold tag reading “Longaberger Express” adds a refined finishing touch. Measuring 8”L x 4”W x 7.5”H, this handcrafted piece is made to be admired for years to come.

With six wooden wheels and intricate woven details, the locomotive makes a striking accent anywhere in your home—display it on a shelf, use it as a tabletop centerpiece, or incorporate it into a collectible display.

More than décor, this collector’s piece celebrates imagination and artistry, offering lasting appeal for train enthusiasts, Longaberger collectors, and anyone who appreciates thoughtfully crafted design.

"Love my Locomotive . Great job and design done. Bonnie"

Christmas chain

"I bought these chains because they reminded me of my childhood when we would make paper chains at Christmastime. . The quality seemed okay. I do wish they were a little longer for the price (and I purchased on the clearance!. ) as you have to purchase at least two do any kind of decorating, not quite sure I would purchase again."

My late father collected pre-war

"My late father collected pre-war Lionel toy trains. I guess that’s where I got my “collector gene”. This piece was like my love of baskets & his of trains collided. I had to have it. It is so beautifully made - every piece the weavers make in Dresden is stunning. This isn’t just for Christmas for me♥️"

Collector's Christmas Express Train

"This small train amazed me in its detail. It is truly a unique piece and represents the expertise of the weaver. I hesitated to order it due to the price but I am very pleased that I did. You need to see it in person to appreciate the craftsmanship."

"My oldest basket is dated 1984 I got it when I was 23yo so now you know how long Ive collected Longaberger baskets. This is so beautiful in person even more than I thought it would be. TY all for such a wonderful product!"

CHRISTINA B. (5/5)

I really like the tree

"I really like the tree collar but I was disappointed I couldn’t use it on my 4ft tree . It won’t fit over the stand at the bottom that holds the tree together. I almost returned it but I did have a smaller tree I used it with. But really wanted to use it on my new tree . But it’s okay I am dealing with it. I don’t want another tree collar I will just use it on the smaller tree. Thank you"
