My others in the house are clueless
when it comes to what I want for gift.
I CAN EXPECT A TRAIN TIE AND/OR SOCKS.

P2K- GP30 w/ CB&Q colors
Atals/Athearn/P2K- GP-- w/ BN, GN, or CB&Q colors

thats what i want.

At the top of my list are:

NWSL Sensi-press for making my own rivet strips.
Prototype drawings of a 1905 era tank car so I can get on with making several examples.

[swg] Not likely to get it, but I want:

  1. A railroad structure (a depot preferably) that I could convert to living quarters. It would be ideal if it was alongside an active mainline that included freight, commuter and AMTRAK trains for my viewing pleasure;

  2. A siding with a heavyweight observation car parked on it–mine, of course, and adjacent to the depot;

  3. All the passenger cars and matching locomotives I can carry out in ten minutes, free of charge, from my favorite area hobby shop.

One can dream.[:)]

15
  1. N-Scale Kato PCC in CTA or PE colors.
  2. N scale CTA 6000 cars
  3. Nscale Traxx cars either style.

Will get?

  1. another Bachmann PCC in CTA
  2. A good cheap watch.
  3. Flex Track (the universal gift)
