I know I am getting some trains for christmas. I actually had to buy the trains myself to make sure i get the right stuff. So its no suprises for me this year. Oh well. I got all the trains at the York, PA train meet in October. Did not spend too much. I got a 460 Piggyback set with assorted 6430 and 3460 flatcars, 2 with green trailers and 2 with grey trailers and 1 with white trailers. Also, a 264 forklift set with 2 flatcars, the 6264 cars. Also, a 45 gateman with a 445 swithtower too. Man am i gonna be at my limit for x-mas…oh well…what is all your x-mas lists as far as trains go?? thanks
Lionel C&O ALLEGHNEY 2-6-6-6 . I have to buy my own trains also, not that Iam complaining though. At least I’ll get what I want.

I told my wife that this years Christmas for me is a O Gauge only Christmas. If it don’t deal with trains I don’t want it. We’ll see how that works for me…
No trains but possible railroaded.
CHUCK
I sure hope so, got a long list!
I would like to get the PWC Flying Yankee set, however, I don’t think it will be available before 12/25. That would be cool though.
Not that I know of.
<—I have all the trains I want.
I got mine already, the Hogwarts Express. My wife bought me the Docksider in July so I’m way way over budget for this year! However if any elves are listening, I have a list if you’re interested…?
I would like the MTH starter set with the scale NYC GP9 from the 2007 RTR catalog:
I’ll have to work over (oops, I mean work ON) my husband though!
Just printed out the Lionel stock number and gave it to my wife.
Yes I am getting my nephew a set. Probably a Thomas the train set. He has taken to the O size very well. The G Thomas doesn’t look right anyway.
I don’t think he is a Harry Potter fan yet. Although, I would like to get the one with the CW80 in it and swap it for my little 40 watt’r that I use for holiday display. Would that be crass to steal a tranformer from a 5-year old?[:-^]

I haven’t noticed that picture before. Very cool.
I am hoping I’m getting the Lionel UP FEF northern-grey for Christmas. Yes, I have to buy it, but I have the wife’s blessing on it. If I have to put the wrapping paper and put it under the tree, so be it. I rather have this way (that way I know it’s the one I want). I say “hoping” because I don;t know what Lionel do. Reuben
Yes. Fifey’s-wifey picked up a little first generation 2.0 something-something with a kitten on the sides.[tup]
I bought myself a Hogwarts set, and it will be running on one of my two Christmas layouts. I bought my 3 year-old Grandson a Polar Express set, and it will start running as soon as his father puts the tree up. I buy train stuff all year…mostly scenic related…and I beg my wife not to bother giving me gifts for Christmas. Joe
Wife is getting me an undecorated soon to be Southern Ry Atlas 0-6-0 Switcher[JusTrains] but it probably won’t be here by Christmas. Golden Gate Coaling Tower and Pedestal Set are early gifts—brown tower has arrived. In various years past she has bought me a N&W Y3, Southern Crescent Ltd. Ps-4, freight and passenger rolling stock and a variety of accessories.
I have a long list which no one pays any attention to[sigh]
All though I have a feeling I will be getting an American Flyer DVD this year.
Allready bought what I wanted.
Getting tiger season tickets for Christmas and birthday and father’s day etc,.etc.etc.!!!
Yep, won my present on ebay this morning. I had wanted a Marx 333 but gave up on it when the bidding topped 75 bucks. As of now it is at 138 bucks! I’m no expert but I’ve seen whole sets with a 333 for 150 bucks or so. I found a nice looking Lionel 2026 that will cost me about 62 bucks and that includes shipping.
My son is getting a the new MTH ohio state cars for Chistmas. I hope they come in. My wife seems to think I have enough trains already.
