For the HO layout, a Santa Fe A+B F3 set (with DCC + sound) from Athearn.

For the G scale layout a Bachmann RGS Goose #1, and a sandhouse kit from Korber.

I must have been a good boy this year (well both me and my dad as we share the hobby)

For this old dog Christmas doesn't really come until the hugh Train Show at The Eastern States Expo in Springfield,Mass. The wife always makes sure she gives me ample spending money for that event which is usually at the end of january. We call it my Christmas present.

It was a small yet intimate Christmas with just my wife and son...they were generous as usual, including an Atlas U30C (D&H 707), a very cozy chenile sweater and (maybe) a late gift (after other financial commitments are settled) of a Moog Voyager synthesizer.
Rock on, boys and girls!

Train-wise, I received 4 Walthers Difco Dump Cars(3 pack and a single car), 3 Athearn RTR CSX 53' Jindo containers, and a special Athearn RTR Atlantic Coast Line passenger excursion train, only available to CSX employees(A good friend of mine works for CSX). Bad news is that I've been sick since last night. (Stomach virus-every adult and child within a 20 mile radius of here has had it.)


Merry Christmas to all,
Matt
