My wish list: Jerry Calabrese and Mike Wolf kissing, making-up and a merger of their technologies that merges Protosound and Railsounds and all other proprietary technology. Oh yeah, How about only 1 OR 2 Types of track going forward.
A silly list, but I really WOULD like to see these two settle the lawsuits and make a great hobby even better. Technology that meshes would be great, too.
Realistically, I'd like to find a Blue Comet.
Lets see how much money I get to bring, then I can figure out what I can afford.

Frank53,
If you do go, I'd appreciate it if you kept an eye out for a 2034 shell in good condition. By good condition I mean minimal scratches and both die cast marker lights present. No more than $20 though.
I looked for NH box cars for you at a show last weekend. Cheapest one I found was $60, not counting the black one that was melted on one end.

I also don't care too much about boxes. If it's there, then so be it. I just want pretty clean pieces with only a couple of small nicks or contact marks. Heck I do run these but want them to look as nice as possible.
