What 3 train Items do you most want for Christmas

[Anonymous]

- an CP Rail SD40
- a 4-6-0 steam engine
- a GE 44 ton switcher

[METRO]

1) a reputable maker to finally get around to making a GO Transit F59

2) some of those Bachman Railways Of China coaches, the blue ones so that I can turn them into commuter cars

3) Some nice custom software so that I can run next-generation DCC on my new Mac.

What I will get:

1) Some more GO Transit Hod-Rod F-7s

2) Some Chinese cars but probably the red ones

3) some PCC shells and some TTC red paint

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...

[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.[:)]

At the top of my list are:

NWSL Sensi-press for making my own rivet strips.
Prototype drawings of a 1905 era tank car so I can get on with making several examples.
Copies of period freight car and locomotive cyclopediae for my reference library.
