All I wanted from Santa was: 1. No derailments; 2. No loss of power and 3.Turnouts always working
properly. Was I asking too much?
Depends on whether Santa built your layout or not. If he did then he has some explaining to do. If he didn’t, then maybe you should ask for a new layout next year![:D]
perhaps you should be thinking of Anti-Claus. he comes from the southpole in a sled drawn by penguins and visits all the bad little boys and girls. he rips off their favorite toys and hauls them back to the south pole where his evil elves destroy them in his workshop.

You obviously misunderstood what Santa does.
He brings new stuff to people who have been good. He doesn’t fix stuff for people that installed it improperly.
Rather than wishing for your 1,2,3, you should have wished for books on installing track properly and wiring your layout.
Better luck next year.
Try the Easter Bunny if you are in a hurry. 
You obviously misundertood Butterhawk. He was only making his comments with lots of sarcasm.
Chill out dude…
“Santa” certainly didn’t let me down. An HO Ford RS200 from Ricko, and a Pullman 40’ box (PS-1) in B&M blue with black doors.
He’s also known to occasionally fart on people’s hairbrushes.
Please forgive my changing the tone of the thread. But, I just have to say that Santa has brought me the best gifts possible. The most important being my wife’s good health after beating two unrelated but similar types of cancer. And, on a slightly lesser but equally critical gift of my own life. Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with an illness that was suppose to take my life within 20 years, and here I am still able to thank heaven for all the blessings I have in my life!
Just my two cents.
New to Model Railroading-09.
Glad to hear that the missus is in good health and here’s hoping that you will still be here with us 30 more years down the track.
As for me, every day that I wake up on the green side of the sod is something to be thankful for.
All the best.
