Been begging for anything on the Milwaukee Road. My wife can be evil
I’ll only be satisfied by Greg McDonnell’s new book “Candian Pacific,”
POSTERS, PAINTING, BOOKS, CAPS, HERALDS AND NUMEROUS MODELING ITEMS. I USUALLY GET ONE, OR TWO IF LUCKY!
If a book comes out that I want, I usually buy it myself!
Calendars, Chessie System stuff, several books, several DVD’s, can’t see buying VHS tapes anymore. Usually if I want it I will buy it and there is a lot of stuff out there right now that I like
Wishing everyone Merry Christmas while I am on assignment shooting snow photography of trains pulling the grades in the hills of Montana.
I voted no as I don’t make a Christmas list. If i see something I want I usually buy it myself
Always have train stuff on my wishlist…would really be interested in material on history of Chicago and Northwestern
I want Gerald Best’s book “Nevada County Narrow Gauge”
…“NCNG…never comes, never goes…”
I asked for a copy of the special issue of TRAINS dealing with the steam era. I like all types of locomotives, but I’m nostalgic about steam from the time when I was a kid, meeting my Dad at the station on occasion, when he came home from his office in Philadelphia. Also, we lived a half a block from the tracks and I vividly recall the sights and sounds of the fast freights roaring by in the late forties and early fifties - quite exciting, indeed! We were next to the river route of the Pennsy in NJ that ran from Camden to Bordentown, hauling freight and local passengers. Also, I commuted from Philly to Ocean City for two weeks in 1957 on the Pennsylvania - Reading Seashore Line. I don’t remember whether there was a diesel or steam loco on these trips.
I actually was given a book for Christmas I had been looking for for a while, “Slim Rails Across the Sand” by George Turner. Anything Southern Pacific, especially from around California I would love.
Bought myself 2 Milwaukee Road GP9’s on ebay. Also got some rail cars including 4 DM&IR ore cars.
I usually make a list and let my wife suprise me ! That way I never get anything I don’t want.
Anything on the Southern Pacific![:)][:D][8D][:p][^]
Looking forward to possably getting some models. Most anything modern will do.
Little things to make my layout look more realistic like, table and chairs to go in my KFC restaurant or posters for the windows of my new store. Things that make your town buildings look good and are inexpensive. That’s what I want Santa to bring.
a UP bear and a poster[:)][:D] if i am lucky
i have been snooping…i got a book THE HISTORY OF THE PENNSY…such a good wife.
I hope to get anything CSX, Conrail or NS in N scail. Lots and lots of coalporters would be good. I also hope to get the Sandpatch Add on for Microsoft Train Sim.
