Chuck - Fantastic...I KNOW it felt good to run them trains!
- Jeff....Hope that you feel better soon!
- RT ... sorry about your cat...family...it hard to see them go.
Started out with a family Christmas at my adopted sisters house where my "Mom" and her husband came from Arkansas...haven't seen them in many years. My sister and Brother in law, My God Daughter and her family and my daughter and I. Great fun, dinner and It's a Wonderful Life. Left for church at 10, there until 1 then just after services had a fire call --- gas leak. All went well, checked on the neighbors and all wished us a Merry Christmas. Came back and saw Santa had left his booty under the tree. In bed by 0300.
Family dinner soon...at Mom & Dad's
Merry Christmas to my TRAIN FAMILY!

Merry Christmas! Santa was here too but we will wait until afternoon to open gifts with extended family. Going to Christmas Mass at 11:30AM.
RT, sorry to hear about your kitty. We had one that grew up with our kids. It hurt real bad when we lost her but she lived to be about 20.
Chuck, Great news on getting to the trains. Attaboy!
Have a great day y'all,

That's great news Chuck! I wish all the best for you and your family in the new year.

Good morning. It's 47° and wet. Rain is falling. The high will be 50° and it will still be raining. There's a 50% chance of rain this morning and afternoon increasing to 70% this evening.Merry Christmas!No white Christmas this year. Here that's a good thing as the state doesn't have the equipment or the budget to clear away the white muck. No modeling plans for today. There's a Christmas dinner at my parents place later so I'll be going to that. I got about five hours of sleep last night. That's better than I expected.
Merry Christmas everyone, Bright and sunny 36 degrees. Nothing on the plate for wifey today and me but do have grandkids, daughter, and in-laws coming over tomorrow. So we are just going to chill out and I will start the preparations for tomorrow later today. Christmas sure seems different once the kids are grown and gone. They have their own lives and other priorities that they need to fulfill. Kind of miss those Christmas mornings with house full and the look in the kids eyes. Guess it is just another phase in life we all have to go through. So again, from Sandra, George the cat and me. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all. Santa stopped by here.
RT, sorry. As I said. Family.
God bless.
Happy Christmas! The youngsters let us sleep in until 7 am this year. They seem happy with their gifts. Later going over to the inlaws. Prayers for RT's loss, Ray and Jeffrey's healing.

Please allow me to wish you all a merry Christmas! The toy trains have been put away for several years now but I still visit this forum to see what you guys have been up to.
Merry Christmas all
Chief Frank's daddy was a wild cat and he is still about 80% muscel and 21LBS and he rules the house if they get out of line he gives them the evil eye and if that don't work one pop from him and they get back in line. He has always been the leader if you wish to use that term. He definitely has been and is one of a kind. But when he laid down with blue last night it just tore me up as he knew what was going on and it was like his way of saying good bye to his buddy.

Merry Christmas to All.....
Good Morning from Blueberryhill...
It is a cold and frosty 30 degrees. The sun will shine and go up to 46 today.
Today is a very relaxing day. We will exchange gifts and have a nice dinner. Too bad we won't see the kids until next week. The grandkids are growing up fast.
Dining car is here and we are having an omlet for breakfast.
Yall have a great Christmas Day.
For some reason I can't sleep tonight as I've developed a cough that comes and goes, so as not to keep the wife awake here I am. It's just about 4:00am and
Merry Christmas to all!

We had a wonderful day. The kids were up early to open presents and everyone was pleased. We had cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole for breakfast and even a little Prosecco. The wife bought me some great items: Band of Brothers collection; a new Dremel and other tools; MMA wrestling shorts; and a couple of other train items still on the way from Trainworld. She cannot remember what she bought so I'll have to wait. We'll be having dinner soon: ham, butternut squash soup, mashed potatoes, and salad.
I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas.

Ho HO Ho! Just got home from my folks' house a little while ago. Brother got a bottle of Bushmills and I got a bottle of Crown and all the guys had a few drinks and a nephew whipped out a guitar in time for us to serenade the extended fam with some fun music. We did sneak in Folsom Prison Blues, which was my request. Nobody else knew City of New Orleans, The Old 97, or even Casey Jones!!!! Oh well, we had a good time. TARDIS Crew - I have the beacon on and most of a bottle of whiskey, some icebox cookies, peanut brittle, and iced rice-krispy treats. Come on and pick me up!

Good morning all,
IIABSDISEI with temps in the 40s. I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and to thank all of you have given in a most trying year. This is truly a Christmas miracle each year being with all of you. For all of us to be connected across thousands of miles is a wonderful gift. I wish nothing but the best for you and your families for 2012.
I got the latest CTT today. Great issue. Will have plenty to peruse next week on vacation. All the kids will be here for lunch. The Polar Express is around the tree, the Classics 384E is in the backroom with a LEGO village and the Sante Fe Passenger train is set up on the back porch. I will be having streusel for breakfast on the dining car before I send it to "Points East". TBIL and I can drive as we will have to be on the lookout for the tailend of Santa's run. The recent enhancements to the navigational system should help. Went to see "Tintin" Friday night. Once again, we had an exclusive showing. Could get used to this. I hope everyone has a great day.
Keep on training,

Great day at the museum, assumed it would be slow but you know what you get when you spell assume. It was non-stop from opening to closing, lots of youngsters as well as old youngsters. Unfortunately the North Pole Central Docksider is starting to exhibit some issues, will try to nurse it along for awhile since it would probably cost more to repair than to replace. All returned to the shelves.
Got the bird in the brine for tomorrow. A couple of honey-do's done, now the tank is about empty so it will be an early bedtime tonite.
If I don't get a chance to pop-in tomorrow let me take tis time to wish one-n-all a
Merry Christmas !
And may God bless. Nite all, enjoy tomorrow with friends & family.

Happy Christmas eve to all,
Did a little final shopping today. My wife picked out something she liked and I was happy to buy it since I didn't have a clue about what to get her. Also hit the grocery stores and picked up some more goodies for tomorrow. My #1 son calls me tonight from a restaurant where he is at a Christmas get together with his wife's family. He just wanted to know if I would baby sit his bird next week. Said he didn't want to surprise me with it at the last minute.
Chief, sounds like a good get together with your family and friends. Can't go wrong with that Smithfield Bar-B-Que. Speaking of egg nog, I like egg nog ice cream. Since my drinking days are over, I don't hit the real stuff anymore but have one for me. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
For dinner tonight we just threw together some omletts with ham, bacon, cheese and chives. Didn't want to go out on Christmas eve.
V8 Dennis, glad you made it to Portland. Hope you had a good train ride. Have a wonderful Christmas.
I picked up a copy of Polar Express for myself while out shopping today. I think it will become a Christmas classic.
Jeffrey in La. Prayers for your pains and hope things go well until the new year.
Cant settle for anything on TV tonight. Finally left it on the Sound of Music.
Merry Christmas to all my fellow forumites and to all a good night.
Happy Holidays CTT Fans!

Hey 10 MPH is a good workout for the sled dogs.
Good night all. Back from In-laws. Jack, you are right. Kids running through the house and Pam and Sisters singing and etc. [too much wine]. I did have a good glass of Eggnog BIL brought. Tasted more like whiskey colored with eggnog. BIL and grown nephew could hardly drink it. Didn't bother and old guy like me.
sir james I Good Christmas Eve 32 now. Kev wasn't me I rarely wear a cap, those are for old guys when they are driving 10 miles under the speed limit. I'm older so I only drive ten miles per hour. Its Christmas and I can't tell a lie..S.J.

RT, even though we have Kids and Grandkids, our dogs and cats are family. Bet Frank is the best one of the bunch.
Sleep tight. Merry Christmas
We had a nice evening with the daughters inlaw's. The kids in their family have grown a lot since we started this tradition. Kev wasn't me I rarely wear a cap, those are for old guys when they are driving 10 miles under the speed limit. If anyone's around tonight, i got Banilla...S.J.
Had a bad night last night so I'm ducking out early. See y'all tomorrow, maybe.
Our cats are our children as we never had any so we are really attached to them. He is 14 years old I was wrong earlier hes not next to oldest he's next to next to oldest as the one I call the oldest we had for almost 2 years befor this one and in the middle there we have one that shown up on our porch that actually might be the oldest or next to oldest as he was full grown when he showed up and he walked right in our house right to the bedroom and jumped on the bed and went to sleep between the 2 pillows like he owned the place. and that was like 15 years ago so him and frank are the oldest. then this one ( Mr.Blue-eyes)
Sorry to hear about your cat RT. They become a big part of the family. There are days when my pal George is the only living thing I see and I would be crushed if he were to not come home one day but out here in the woods you never know.
Take care.
ChiefEagles Morning. Fox on the run. Have a good one. RT, I am going to have the SC SBI come take your keyboard away. Later

Oh sorry chief I take it I wasn't suppose to tell about your new ride. I'm sorry but you know it sure looks snazzy but since the cats out of the bag theres nothin I guess I can do to reverse it.
Evening all very down evening in our house as our next to oldest cat is about to pass. He can hardly even move now. We do have good memories of him and he will dearly be missed my guess is tomorrow if not tonight some time.
Hope all have a merry Christmas. will try to get back in tomorrow and say hi.
Talk to you all later night
