For non train stuff, I got a new hockey stick, and I'll be getting money later, so I can buy new skates

For train stuff, I got:

  • Walthers Heavyweight 3-2 Observation
  • Walthers Funnel Flow tanker
  • Walthers Centerbeam (damaged, and will be replaced in a few days when we contact Walthers
  • Some PS paints

Unless "Santa" (my parents) forgot about it, Walthers forgot to ship my decal paper... And for some reason, my airbrush was removed from my order due to "shipping restrictions..." After the holidays, we'll give them a call to deal with the centerbeam and decal paper issues, as well as find out what went wrong with that airbrush...

Merry Christmas!

The train related stuff was a metal sign that reads Ricky's Train Station with an RR Crossing Sign on it and a Digitrax SuperChief.  As I put in another post, I didn't realize I'd been THAT good!

Plus I got some nice thermal shirts that will come in handy in th layout room as it can be chilly at time.

Greetings,

My wife (and Mother-in-Law) bought me a Top Side Creeper from Micro Mark.  It is now assembled and is stored under the train table for use later.  Before I put it away I did try it out and it does really let me get to the hard to reach areas on the layout.

Time to go to my parents house so they can spool their grandson.

The only thing Model RR related I got was a Mehano 4-8-2 in CNR livery which I'm thinking some day may turn into a CPR 4-8-4

 Merry Christmas

Nothing train related, but a digital photo frame which is somewhere in UPS's system.  I also got some stuff for my new computer.

 A Sears digital multimeter - so I can get the layout wired properly.

The Jolly one done brought me a Athearn RTR CR SW1500..This loco is a thing of pure beauty.I fully believe Athearn pulled out all the stops on this one and I also recieved 2 Atlas N Scale cars.I will return these cars since both are 40' stock cars and doesn't fit my era..Thankfully the receipt was included.

 Lets see............

 Some shop lights for the layout.  Nothing as far as rolling stock, or buildings.  Santa (aka the wife) wanted to make sure I got the right thing.  So maybe a trip to the hobby store tomorrow.
