My sister got me a couple of sets of figures - some "train workers" by Life-Like and a group of loading dock guys by Preiser. The Preiser set is one I haven't seen before, and from their low price I suspect they were hidden in the back somewhere for a long time, and have since been discontinued.
But, I got two more things that were precious indeed. The first is time. I've now got a whole week to work on my layout, which I need because I've got benchwork to build, and then I can start wiring and laying track on the extension.
Finally, I have "Permission." My wife and daughter both got new skis, and my old ones are good enough for me, so I told her I might go locomotive shopping. "I won't say a thing," she replied.

GREAT STUFF GUYS ! and best of all is always health. My wife has been cancer free for 25 years.
HEALTH TO ALL !!!

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” -- John Lennon

I agree,
as for train related stuff, I got nothing. That is until I put in an order to Walthers Monday for some "stuff" including a gold line caboose (I only have the ones that came with my starter sets over 10 years ago).

Santa was good this year. I received the following in N scale:
a Central Valley truss bridge
a GC Laser co-op grain elevator and office
a Micro Trains Standard Oil tank car
and a Digitrax UR92 so that I can upgrade to radio control.
I also received some money so I plan on going to the LHS on Monday to purchase a BLI CNW E7 with sound.
And I think my last gift will be one or two Branchline PRR sleeper kits!
