I am looking to try to find the name of a move to possibly add to my collection. Unfortunatley I cannot remember any part of the title but I do remember parts of it.

If it helps its an animated film, with maybe a running time of 20-30minutes American probably made late 60's/70's

Its about a boy who wants a train set for christmas I think the colour blue or silver is in the name of this train set, but the boys mother cannot afford it, as I think she was a single parent.

The boy eventually tells his friends that he is getting this train set for Christmas and they decide to go round to his house, now the only line I can remember is when one of the boys friends a girl is telling another friend a boy that she will not be going to his house at christmas as he is only getting Checquers where as their friend was getting this new train set.

Sorry its a bit vague but I have been trying to remember the name of this film for years but have not been succesful.

Checking now - but this sounds a lot like a movie from earlier called .....Holiday Affair....

I have just checked IMDB for Holiday Affiar, it was not it.

If it helps its a cartoon.

Were there other characters like trolls, or a little bear or fox?

just vague memories of a bunch of kids one who says he wants this super train set, for Christmas and tells his friends he is getting it for Christmas which it eventually turns up on Christmas day

The only movie I can think of that fits that is Holiday Affair. Could it be they animated it?
