Well, for my loco I'll take a GG-1.  1:1 scale of course.

I'll take a permanently-coupled 5-car passenger set as my rolling stock

And the whole Northeast Corridor as my structure...

Would that run on both DCC/DC? Tongue

 

Yes, except there is a little switch on top, just under a roof panel, ya gotta flip...

 Well, let's see:

loco: SW1 by Walthers or in brass; I'm not picky....  Prefer undecorated.

rolling stock:  Stock car lettered for GTW

Building:  Slaughter house/packing plant kit with stockyards!

Can you guess what one of my upcoming projects is going to be?  Merry Christmas everyone!

It's an odd sensation, but I have no list of "just gotta have" items this year. Is being content with what I already have sufficient grounds for having to return my Model Railroader Membership Card?

Hmm:  Whistling

Okay, for the locomotive, a brass SP MT-2 4-8-2

Rolling stock: A 3-unit articulated SP "Daylight" diner

Structure: A 120' turntable (and space to install it).

Oh: HO scale of course.  Though 1:1 wouldn't be too bad, would it?

 Okay you are allowed one loco,one piece of rolling stock and one structure. What's it going to be????

 For me.   1. A nice C.P.R. steam loco. A mikado or Pacific. Maybe something from Division point.

                 2. A heavywieght C.P.R baggage car or coach.

                 3. A really nice grain elevator kit.

                 WHO'S  NEXT

I already know what Santa is bringing... I had a conference with him several days ago. It seems I've been big into themed Christmas presents for the past few years. A couple years ago was my MBTA Christmas. Last year was my Claremont-Concord Railroad Christmas, and this year I'll be getting an RS3 with paints decals and a decoder to turn it from N&W to LVRC!
