A matching aluminium observation car for my 1953 Santa Fe F3 set.. But that's probably still being a whish untill I see one on ebay which will be shipped to the Netherlands..
I've seen a few up for sale in the past few years, but all only available for the united states.. But my time will come one day.
For the rest I don't think that Santa will provide any trains, I have to buy them myself through ebay or something, it's not available in Shops here..
But I would like some matching die-cast cars for my city and a "Thomas the tank engine" video.. (It's childish, but I like to watch postman Tom and thomas..)
Daan. I'm Dutch, but only by country...

I asked Santa for a G-scale Bachmann North Star Express.

<She> gave it to me for my birthday instead so I could set it up under the Chrismas tree. [:D][:D][:D]

Just ordered the Williams GG1 #2332, so that on the way, I guess a 773 or other NYC Hudson would be a nice stocking stuffer. I already know that my wife bought the Cracker Barrel lighted store for the layout, so now its up to me to build.

I'm not getting a train for Christmas this year. Spent too much on the kids and stuff. I am getting a Nintendo DS, which I guess the kids will use most of the time anyway.

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

You don't see us Buckeye Boys badmouthing anyone this close to Christmas. I predict that the OTTS Members will get big boxes of trains this year because we have been so good and I know the man. (He lives closer to us than to Roseyville.)[;)]




Now this is really true. Hey Chiefie, I will bring tons of coal down, so you can actually do something useful, and make the coal scale sized for the hoppers. [:0][:0][:0][:0][:D][;)][^]

Jon, I would love to have a real Corvette as well. A '65, with the 427, original 4 speed, Red, with a white interior.

Hmmmmmmm,

Well, if Santa has an MPC Blue Comet Set laying around I'd be glad to take it.

But, if not, then maybe a Williams Norfolk and Western 746 J with Maroon Powhatton Arrow Streamliner 4-pack and add on teo pack.

Then again I wouldn't say no to a Williams Santa Fe F3 A-A or Tuscan 2360 GG1.

The local hobby shop has a K-line Porter steamer that sure looks nice. Great size for under he tree. I think Santa could easily fit that in his bag along with my kids toys.

I opened my CTT today and saw that Atlas model of a GM&O SD-40. Love at first sight.
I'm going to get one if I can.

Williams traditional-sized GG-1. [:p]

About the biggest, most macho thing I could run on my small layout. Maybe some 0-27 streamliners to match? [:I]

An MRC dual controller
Williams 671, 2056, 726, GG1, NW-2

Other than that, a few flannel shirts would be nice.

I'm hoping that back in the prewar or postwar years the elves made a few more trains than they had to and that these are still lying around in Santa's workshop somewhere. I'm sure he'd be happy to get rid of this old inventory.
