Each year about this time my wife asks me what I want for Christmas. Each year about this time I keep asking for a nice EMD road locomotive, a private car, a diner, and a baggage car for all our "stuff". So far UPS has failed to drop off the 87 foot long box that's about 20 feet tall in the driveway. Looks like another year of dreaming with my HO gauge set under the tree. Seriously, though- I wonder how much it would cost to put a "private" train on a siding. As long as I'm dreaming about melting down the Alabama pension fund, I'd want to have the ability to take "my" train out as well for travel. Hey, if Bill Gates could do it, why not dream big? Why heavens, I bet NS, CSX, BNSF and UP would leap enthusiastically at the opportunity to have my private train roll over their rails. I can just see the operating crews lining up at the extra board to sign on for that kind of duty.... Erik
