Yep! Now that Halloween is over and the Christmas decorations are being hung in all our favourite stores it’s time to think of “What we really need and want for Christmas”.
So consider this your Christmas wish list site that can be quietly printed off and left inconspicuously in plain view for those who care about you or need something to start the fire on one of those cold autumn nights.
I’d like something that makes noise with my new Digitrax
a BLI Erie Heavy Mike or
a BLI TH&B Hudson would be nice
Spectrum 2-6-6-2
Decoders make wonderful stocking stuffers!
Ah yes, Christmas, the mother load. More than Birthdays, for sure. I’ve always asked for trains for Christmas, but have I ever gotten them? No. Why? Because Mom and Dad don’t know crap about trains. SO LET ME HELP YOU!!!, I always say. I don’t care if it spoils the surprise!!!
Anyways, THE LIST:
Genesis Callenger UP #3985
BLI UP MT-73 4-8-2
KATO SD80MAC Conrail (unfortunatly thses are sold out everywhere[:(])
More EZ track
Digitrax Zepyher Starter set
Decoders!!!
Too late, I done gave my christmas gift away to a few little HO SD40-2’s painted in Wisconsin and Southern Colors, arriving next week. Next year I will probably need this though.
As a suggestion, make sure you indicate what scale it is you want. Sure, what you want MAY only be available in one scale, but if your elves don’t find it in their casual search, they may go for something “close” that’s in a different scale. That’s if its only in the one scale. What if its available in 2 (or more) scales? How about that Spectrum 2-6-6-2? Gotta have it, you get it, but do you REALLY want that “oh crap, this is the wrong scale” look to flash across your face when you open it up, in full view of your loved ones? hmmmm
Okay, now I can kick the soapbox away and toss my list into the cyberether…
Dammit, you’d think I’d learn about that TAB key, eventually, wouldn’t you?
wish list (again):
BLI Santa Fe 2-10-2 (yah, I know it’s backdated to January, but I’ll take a rain-check).
Some (or rather ONE); I know I’m getting, others…[sigh]
Kato SD70MAC, BN (going to be repainted for CB&Q);
Kato SD45, one Rio Grande, one CB&Q, one Frisco;
Kato SD38-2, Frisco;
Arthearn SD50, KCS
Sunset CB&Q O-5 4-8-4;
P2K GP9, CB&Q;
A bunch of modern Intermountain covered hoppers and boxcars;
I ask for cash, it’s easier that way than saying “but I don’t have a O scale train!” or “It’s nice, but umm…I Don’t use modern engines”. so instead of hurting their feelings, I just ask for cash, works better in the long run.
mainly $100 gift certificate for Walthers or something, like my mom would pay up to $100 if i bought from Walthers. just $100 would be nice for me. 2 right and 2 left turnouts. the dresser taken out of my train room so i can make a yard. a GP-- ATSF blue Warbonnet. some more BNSF locos, centerflow hoppers, and boxcars. a bunch of Railbox boxcars. some SOO Line hoppers. ADM hoppers. the Red Wing flour mill.
i really want to find some BN, BNSF, and SOO hoppers. also the BNSF and Railbox boxcars.
