I got a day to myself...my girlfreind is at work, so we're celebrating tomorrow, with my family...most of the women in my family are nurses..so we're used to re-scheduling holidays around their work schedules..it was a peaceful day here in my world...and honestly, all I really WANT is a new pair of shoes and a job, (in that order)..seriously

The only thing train related that I got was CASH!!!!!!!!

(Come to think about it, that may be the most train related gift of all time!)

1 Kato SD-70M NS
1 Kato SD-40-2 NS
1 Walthers 3 pack TTX well cars
1 Walthers single TTX well car
1 Con-cor bi-level auto rack
4 Walthers Intermodal containers, asst names.
Few sets of RTR LL trees (yes I know...they make up a small park scene im doing)
7 structures or so

Thats about it. I also got a 1996 Dakota that was about 5000 from my step dad because the Ranger I was driving died. His idea was like 500 for some train stuff...the truck didnt come into the picture until he took out a loan for a refurb on his boat and gave me what he had left when the trucks (Ranger) entire fuel system rotted out right in the driveway over 2 days it seems. Other than that my Nana and gf funded like half of the list and yes there are some train things I forgot. This is all N scale btw. And hi to everyone...guess im kinda new here.

A 40' Reefer car - Pacific Fruit Express (with Southern Pacific roadname on one side and UP on the other)

That's it for rail stuff, but the £10 cheque will go towards scenic materials!

I got this fabulous blanket from my wife she made it herself. She also got me a few more hat pins. Due to a large christmas bonus I will be insulating my trainroom and adding an A/C and heat unit.
