"Cascade Range Logging Set" From Mrs claus. It was just what I wanted acually as I fell in love with the little dockside switcher in it. I was looking at getting the set minus track and transformer and she found the whole set NIB for like $39.00 more including shipping. I don't use fast track so probally sell that and might even sell the transformer ( CW-80 ) and that should net me close to half my her money back (Sign - Oops)

Not to tickled about Whistle as mentioned in another thread but it sure is a nice set. I've also heard about a few saying it stops smoking after a while but not really worried about that either. I wonder if you can change the sound board out to give it a different whistle seems I've seen them on TA and coil couplers web sites.

I got another Polar Express car...Disappearing Hobo!!  unfortunately with the Hobo up the car won't fit through my truss bridge...good thing he's easy to make disappear!!  Also got the Santa Claus gateman with LED tree and presents....excellent addition to my north pole area on my Christmas layout.

So, now that we've unwrapped our presents, what did you get (train related of course)?

I recieved a stock from the old Central Ohio Railroad of Zanesville, OH (later absorbed into the Baltimore & Ohio). Back then the stock was worth $50, now...who knows? Lol. It's a nice piece of history to have.
