Amazing! Andrew and I are on the same page, though my basement is sort-of finished and sort-of warm. I want more of it than he prevailing half is willing to allow.

[swg] Not likely to get it, but I want:

1) A railroad structure (a depot preferably) that I could convert to living quarters. It would be ideal if it was alongside an active mainline that included freight, commuter and AMTRAK trains for my viewing pleasure;

2) A siding with a heavyweight observation car parked on it--mine, of course, and adjacent to the depot;

3) All the passenger cars and matching locomotives I can carry out in ten minutes, free of charge, from my favorite area hobby shop.

One can dream.[:)]

[douginut]

1. N-Scale Kato PCC in CTA or PE colors.
2. N scale CTA 6000 cars
3. Nscale Traxx cars either style.

Will get?
1. another Bachmann PCC in CTA
2. A good cheap watch.
3. Flex Track (the universal gift)

I may have finally got everyone in my family to comprehend that I don't want anything. I buy myself "gifts" all year round and I know what I want while they don't unless I print out detailed instructions with part numbers, telephone numbers, prices, etc.

I find that there is nothing more pathetic than the gift that says, "I don't know what you like, I'm not even remotely interested in learning enough about you to know what you like, so here, take this (possibly lame) inappropriate, half-hearted gift I spent nanoseconds selecting for you, because I'm obligated to give you something." Maybe I just put too much effort into my gifting...
