I got an early x-mas present, but it aint train related, more towards my other passion.
Lionel collector, stuck in an N scaler's modelling space.
from Lionel, a PRR 2-10-4 J, 225E (in gun metal of course), a 226E
from Mike, a PRR Decapod, and a PRR 2-8-2

Well we can strike the B&O Caboose off the list! I stopped at the LHS to pick up a lube kit - btw, the MTH Lube Kit comes with a really nice oil pen with needle! Well while I was browseing, yes a real man is permitted to browse in a train store, hardware store, or auto parts store, I saw the B&O caboose I've been eyeing... last one they had... so I bought it! I couldn't resist! It is such a beaut! If I get a dupe for Christmas I'll just have to settle for two on the big layout!

Wow John, I'd sure love to have the same set. It's like my Holy Grail of train consists because I really like the tuscan red 5-stripe E units and, well shoot, I'd probably like that color on my walls! I don't recall whether the Broadway Limited ever run behind the T-1 duplexes. Even if not, I wouldn't hesitate to do so on my layout when I'm in the mood for steam. Good luck finding your set!

Absolutely nothing! Recently my order came in for the re-issue of the MTH RK PRR K-4 "Torpedo" engine and 7 matching Fleet of Modernism cars. Ya gotta love the two-tone maroon and tuscan paint! That set plus the 1936 prewar O gauge set I picked up at York leaves me happy as a clam. So I told my wife, please, don't buy me ANYTHING. I'm making sure to give her some very nice gifts though.
There is a Chessie Streamlined Hudson on EBay that is really nice too...

Out of my price range right now... but would like nice pulling a consist like the one Frank Mentioned!
I'd like to get High.
High-A-Watha that is!
I saw this at the local hobby shop and it is just the cat's rear end. If I had the curves to run it, I would scoop it up in a second. The LHS ordered the engine, four pack, two car add on pack and the RailSounds Diner for a guy and he hasn't been back since. It's just sitting there calling my name every time I walk in. We figured it's about twelve feet long and I could never run it. The 18" passenger cars would need way more than o72 to look normal, so I'll never have one - but it sure is a nice one.
Frank's 2343 F3s!!!
Come on, Frank. It's Christmas! Don't be a humbug!!!

I'll second that! Specifically, 1949 postwar; hence my screen name.
