When it comes to Christmas presents my wife and son always struggle to find me something. So when I got into trains it made life easier for them.

This year a couple of dcc uncoulping cars will top the list. Since they no longer believe in Santa I even order what I want but have it shipped to them.

Happy Railroading

Bob

An airbrush and some neat railroad tools from micro mark is good enough for me.

Well, my parents already have the PL42AC frame/drive and decals from Island Model Works, so I know I'm getting that.

Depending on what they set the limit at (because there are a few non-train items I would like and/or need), some track, and maybe some rolling stock if it fits in the money constraints.

Luckily, time won't be a problem for me. I have two research papers, but both are due before before break, so the only forseeable conflict is hockey.

One of everything will be nice, but I'll be happy with a BB boxcar.

I am hoping to get Supertrees by Scenic Express. I model North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia mountain (coal) country and need plenty of trees. I tried the starter set and loved the results.

I would like to have the latest Fine Scale Miniatures kit, but I am not holding my breath. The Supertrees with the flocks and matte medium is going to cost enough.

If I could have my "dream" gift it would be a brass locomotive. I model N&W and Southern Railway in the 1950's. So, an N&W Y6b or Class A would be great. I also like the Southern Railway MS4.

A guy can dream can't he??Big Smile

Well on my list was the Proto 2000 SD60M Burlington Northern  #9294.  Luckily I was able to find one. It sure is a nice looking unit.

 

Happy Holidays...

I need to add to my list, if it is not too late.  A Beneteau 46 would be nice but I doubt it would fit under the tree

A  new Bachmann 3 truck Climax, with the factory sound. Love the small geared locomotives.
