I already know what Santa is bringing… I had a conference with him several days ago. It seems I’ve been big into themed Christmas presents for the past few years. A couple years ago was my MBTA Christmas. Last year was my Claremont-Concord Railroad Christmas, and this year I’ll be getting an RS3 with paints decals and a decoder to turn it from N&W to LVRC!
It’s an odd sensation, but I have no list of “just gotta have” items this year. Is being content with what I already have sufficient grounds for having to return my Model Railroader Membership Card?
My wife told me to pick up something that I really want at the Belleville train show last weekend so I got myself a Intermountain VIA Rail FP9A, a Rapido VIA Rail steam generator car and a Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am 1/32 scale slot car. I like shopping for myself, lol.
A Union Pacific Steam engine(I already got electric and diesel.)Edit:I really don’t care about the specific engine. I can’t find any steam engines nowadays.
Union Pacific Tender.(It would go well with the steam engine.)
A good sized clapboard or brick station(my old station is small and can’t keep up with the growth.)
