Thank you for putting up that link, Ed.
I just watched the video again and compared an old Edaville Railroad "Santa" postcard to the restoration project shown in the video.
I had the Mike Robert's Productions card, published by Bromley, card no. SA1277. There is a difference in the mouth, but maybe if I had a barn fall on me, my mouth would be tweaked some from an earlier image.
Can't help but wonder if that is the old Edaville Santa Claus, sold at auction in 1992 and taken up to Mont Vernon, New Hampshire and now getting a rebuild.
