I really don't have much of a holiday list. Truth be told, I have too much stuff already. I have more locos & rolling stock than my modest little layout can hold with a healthy backlog of undecorated kits, and a box full of unstarted building kits. So my glamorous wish list is:

2-56 screws (can you ever have enough of those useful little fellows?)

Extra wheelsets

A few extra trucks

A Kadee coupler height gauge

More Kadee couplers. I'm always scavenging for those darned things!

Some Yellow Box RS3's and GP7's.And Spectrum steamers. Yeah, I know. I already have enough, but I just can't help myself!

But what say we get through Thanksgiving first, okay?

 Parts and supplies. I don't really need any more locos but I do need turnouts and other items to get all the trackwork finished.

For moi, with a job for a short time, maybe longer, I'd like to finally nab a Rapido Turbotrain, maybe see if I can't get a jump on an HO James Whitcomb RIley and a Kato SD90 or maybe two so I can represent the INRD 9000s, or see if I can't hunt down PRR 8589 and finish out the pair. A Dmeonstrator Genset would be nice, but they don't have one.

Ill go with the one thing I need most. TIME. 22 hours of homework a day has caused negative progress on my layout over the past four months.Laugh

I would have to say the N scale Cab Forward that came out earlier this year.  Nevermind my layout is probably a bit too small for it, that engine has just fascinated me since I first saw it at the California State Railroad Museum.  We'll see if it comes my way this Christmas....

at the moment -- not a thing.  It's far too early to be thinking of Christmas for me (it's not even Thanksgiving!)

Will probably put a lot of kits on the list, not much in the way of locos or anything though.  My _personal_ wish list is far too long to limit to Christmas Smile

With the holiday shopping season just around the corner, wondering what MRR items are on everyone's holiday wish list.  I have a decent size list of loco's, rolling stock and buildings/industry kits and told my wife to pick a few to suprise me.  It will be interesting to see how she does this year since last year she got my first trainset that got the MRR ball rolling with me.
