Christmas train - steam engine

Hi,
I am visiting Munich this weekend with my 9 year old twin boys. A while back I saw reference to a Christmas train. Does anyone have any information on this? My boys are mad on steam engines.
Thanks.

I've heard that there is a Christmas tram but I don't know much about it except that it leaves from Sendlinger Tor and goes around town - if my info is correct (it's my first winter here, sorry).

For steam engines (and all sorts of machines, etc.) I'd take the kids to the Deutches Museum, but I suppose you're planning to go there anyway.

Hope you enjoy your weekend here!

On Sunday 11th, there is a steam train doing 1 hour trips around Munich. It leaves Ostbahnhof at 10:00, 11:30, 13:30 and 15:00. Tickets cost EUR 12 for adults and EUR 8 for children and can be bought on the train. The German "Nikolaus" is also on the train and has a surprise for the children.

I took my son last Sunday and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Have fun !
