[Anonymous]

Yes, a Broadway Limited heavy 2-8-2. I hope they're released in time to get here for Christmas, but if not I'll just have to be patient.

Does a duck quack?, a bear ... in the woods? Of course model railroading is on my list for Christmas even if I have to buy it myself (the order has already been sent). Last year my wife surprised me with a Lionel set. Since I'm in the scale side of S, this was quite a surprise. But hey it's kinda fun. I'm thinking of exapnding it this year around the tree.
Enjoy

eBay us providing me with some good stuff to add to my collection of "stuff" to create a 24inch by 24 inch branch layout in Z scale.

I go through the Walthers catalog and circle items. I have three price catagories so everyone is in the game.

[ajpaschal]

Of course. One of them is the renewal of my ModelRailroader subscription.

Yep. Bachmann Overland Limited HO set, Spectrum Frontiersman HO set, Spectrum 4-6-0, Spectrum 4-8-2.

I didn't make a list this year because the room I want to use is still occupied. I would love to get an D & H railroad started but I'll have to wait another year. Oh well

Oh Yes ! The train show was just in town and I picked up several of the Lionel battery operated engines for the grandkids wooden track set. For myself, its some new scenery items and material for the Christmas layout. Actually its Christmas all year long !
Happy Holidays to all !!

[Anonymous]

You bet trains items are on my Christmas list. A Broadway Ltd. Hudson 4-6-4, that I will rebuild into the Canadian Royal Hudson engine. I just can't wait tell Christmas to open that box. The Best Of The Season To All My Rail Road friends.

already bought the 1x4's for the benchwork...time to get the train room filled!!!

[Anonymous]

Not anymore. I've reached the age where I do my own hobby buying. It gets too complicated to try to have anyone else get anything for me. Except for books; those are always acceptable.

[FThunder11]

how can there not be. If you are a model railroder and ou don't there is something wrong with you

[Anonymous]

Some PECO HO track would be nice.

[Anonymous]

If you celebrate Christmas what kind of model railroader would you possibly be if you didn't have at least one wish item on the list. If you don't celebrate Christmas, this would be a good time to start so you can establish a list. Real model railroaders don't need a list but every bit helps. More then likely you'll get the wrong thing but it's the thought, remember :))

[Anonymous]

in one word....digitrax!!!!! in two words,..more tracks!! i do my real holiday shopping for myself in january at the train show in timonium, md, every january!! usually i pick up a surplus of kato's, atlas, p2k, but, it's time to load up on decoders this year!

[Anonymous]

Wife was with me when I went looking for an HO GN SW/8. Found a Proto 1000 GN RS-2 instead and baught that. We plan to go back up to the LHS up North around that time and look again. Oh, and by the way...she was IN the store AND paid for it!

[alpreston]

This year, yes. I told the wife my old throttle died, so a new one would be acceptable. Normally I don't make a Yuletide wish list, but this year she asked me what I'd like... (and almost all of the stuff I want would require a lot of detailed explanation and cross border mail ordering).

[Anonymous]

yea im getting a 20 car set of coal cars in N scale and i think i will buy a sd70mac for myself in bn heritage scheme...

[Anonymous]

There are always items on my Christmas list...but if I don't buy them, I won't get them.

[Anonymous]

I voted no because railroading is not a very popular subject around this neck of the woods and the only hobby shop in the area does not stock much railroad stuff. I use mailorder to get my stuff. There is nothing available locally and the closest railroad is almost 200 miles away

[Anonymous]

I asked Santa for a Digitrax DCC system. My wife (oops, Santa) hasn't the foggiest but will visit the hobby shaop and ask the owner what DCC means. Thank you Santa!

[tanyetta]

An Athern Genesis set of Santa Fe F3's would be nice!

[Anonymous]

yes but it's a present to myself from myself. I think it is easier because my missus gets awfully confused by trains and trying to explain is more trouble than it is worth.

No. At the present time I have all I need.
