What I would like for Christmas is: 1. A layout with no derailments; 2. no power interruptions; and 3. always clean tracks
Agree with that, but since that never seems possible[:$] what i would like is a wallet, a watch and LOTS OF GRAIN HOPPERS
I want what you want… LOL
- A layout with no derailments; 2. no power interruptions; and 3. always clean tracks
Santa is gonna be a busy guy visiting all our layouts! Better leave him extra cookies for all that work!
Hi,
Thought a post like this would come up - glad it did!
Speaking strictly regarding model railroading, what I would like for Christmas is for a “better” manufacturer come out with some ATSF and IC specific steam locos. Now I’m not talking about a generic usra loco with Santa Fe or ICRR slapped on the tender, but a decent representation of the road’s locos…
Oh, and if they do announce them, I ask that they come out in a reasonable time period, free of problems.
Ummmmm, on second thought, maybe I better ask for “World Peace” or an endless supply of pollutant free energy…
Merry Christmas to all you that celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to those that don’t.
All I want for Christmas is the energy to get off my duff and get out to the garage and finish that MR project I left half-done in October, LOL!
Oh yah, and a mini-cam I can mount on a flatcar.
Merry Christmas, everyone!!

What I would dearly love for Christmas {and the year 'round} is:
1} manufacturers to produce quality products that will last 40-50 years or more
2} locos to come out in every livery everybody wants that are prototypical
3} locos and products that actually come out on the date advertised!
4} No delays in productions/delivery of said products anywhere along the supply channel
5} EZ DCC products that are not so complicated and that are very accurate to operation
6} prices that anyone on any budget could afford
7} Details that are great and won’t break if you sneeze on it
I could go on…

Nobody else wants anything for Christmas?
Sure, we want- especially some train stuff, but Santa’s budget is NIL this year,
Santa already brought us a wheel kit for a generator we got after the massive flooding left us without power ONCE AGAIN for days on end, a battery for said generator’s electric start system, a few turtle necks , flannel shirts and slippers we needed.
After replacing a furnace that failed, a roof that needed redoing, throwing out $800 of food from the stand alone freezer and the refer/fridge after the flood, and 3 major auto repair bills this fall, That is ALL SANTA COULD AFFORD THIS YEAR FOR US.

SPACE! [sigh]
Health.
A bunch more grain hoppers would be nice…
I got one present already, a winter beater for the drive to work everyday. My wife found me a 07 Chevy Cobalt with only 26000KMS on it. Cheap on gas but SLOW, lol. I guess I’ll only drive the 4X4 on the bad days. I got a few things on my list but train wise all I’m hoping to get is building kits. I know my mother in law and sister in law usually get me gift certificates to my local hobby shop so that should stock me up until next year at this time. I did see a Athearn switcher in VIA Rail colours that caught my eye too.
I would like to have all my Decoder locos run without any issues! Oh, and good health so I can finish my layout.

A winning $10,000,000.00 lottery ticket would do it for me.
And if you don’t think that’s model train related, think again. [;)]
