What are some of the model railroad goodies that Santa brought you this year? I got a set from Scenic Express to build SuperTrees, the Fine Scale Miniature kit, and water columns from Diamond Scale. I must have been pretty good![:D]
There was another tread but what the heck [:P] I got an Athearn Conrail SD60 and the Black Gold Asphalt plant from Walthers… My early gift was Athearn Genesis SD70ACe.
I got an IMRC ES44AC in CP, a UP Athearn SD70ACE, SD60 Athearn EMD lease, a whole bunch of Grand Central Gems trees, an undec Athearn RTR Sd40, a BNSF Athearn RTR GP38-2, 2 Pikestuff buildings and a Woodland Scenics BU police station.
HO scale Pan Am Railway #350 sound loco, four Pan Am freight cars, two Guilford boxcars, two MEC boxcars and one Ring Engineering EOT device. Athearn Pan Am boxcars are quite difficult to find.
I see #350 once in a while in Northampton, MA and occasionally see the Pan Am freight cars on the CSX line in West Springfield MA.

Lump of coal 
Jon
Hard coal or soft coal?
I guess Santa is not aware of pollution when you burn coal.

money then i hit the store some kits and a exactrail boxcar for now thinking of the new go transit loco with sound from true line trains.rambo1…
It wasn’t specifically model railroad related, but my wife bought me an adjustable stool (with adjustable back) to sit on while I’m at my control panel. [tup]
Jon,
That was pretty harsh![:(!] You obviously need to talk to the paymaster (usually the wife) and get this rectified!
Your only other recourse is to go to the hobby store and get what you need!! Better yet, by brass, that will show the Grinch that you mean business and are not someone to be trifled with![:P]
already covered here in this thread:

my own answer was thus:
Good morning:
My haul from Santa and My Other Half {MOH}:
Locos: DCC OnBoard Chessie GP 40 {I have wanted for a long time}; and a DCC OnBoard D&H GP38-2 {MOH and mine intials are “D” and “H” so we have begun collecting “D&H” stuff- which is nto easy as not a popular fallen flag…
RRCars: C&O and B&O BOx cars {B&O and C&O and CHessie and CSX are my nromal runs}; and A B&O Gondola; and a D&H Boxcar and D&H COvered hopper. I am sure there are mroe D&H stuff in my futer {if we can find it.}
So 2 locos and 5 Cars, good enough for me!
MOH {who is into trains also- N scale}- got:
Loco- Kato GG1 {wanted desparately since March and I bought it way back then before they were out}
RRCars: A wanted Santa Fe Overton set, and open air tourist passenger car {both thought to be “key-yute” [Cute]}; several freight cars…including-you guessed it- some D&H!!!, flats, tanker and such; and several {about 8} Pennsy passenger cars to haul behind the GG1! {the GG1 did also see freight service}- so about 25 RR cas in all; and a signal light; and a dozen winter trees for the under-the-table-top-tree-Snowy-christmas-scene-layout with both HO loop and N scale loop that MOH wants to creat-we are working on a new board for the layout now.Next year will be better.
Quite a haul for BOTH of us! from each other and santa claus.
A lump of coal???

Anyone want to come over and help?

The only train related thing that Santa brought was an Athearn Santa Fe Brick County Seat Station with Freight dock. He found it on e-bay and outbid the person by $1.01
My cordless screwdriver went down some weeks ago. And - wow - I’ve got a new one from the children. [:D]

My loving wife got me:
a 1989-vintage Proto 2K “undec” (painted black from the factory) EMD BL-2
and an unbuilt P2K 4472 PS2-CD high side covered hopper kit in Frisco paint (one of my favorite HO kits ever, actually, I’ve built about two dozen and they go together very well).
[:)]
I had a great xmas.The wife got me 2 Walthers Background Buildings’2 goldline hoppers.The set of 100 figures hand painted and a dremel cordless.Wow I am one happy camper.BOB
Like many MR’s I got far too much stuff, the basement is full, so is the garage, storage sheds, now what to do with the semi-trailer full of train stuff I got at Christmas, I guess just add it to the ever increasing stockpile of unopened boxes, brass locomotives, building kits, car kits and so on, must make more room for the stuff I buy in the future also, must be something about model railroaders that like to accumulate stuff. Can any of you out there suggest what to do with all this “stuff” I couldn’t begin to use the smallest amount of it, even in 6 lifetimes.
2 Switchers a 70 and 45 ton GEs both DCC on board
2 Gondolas and an Evans Coil Car
A Conrail caboose
The EZ command walk around thottle for the office layout.
Oh and a bag of coal (actually aquarium charcoal) to smash and make loads for the gondola.
haha, well among the Packers gear I got (which includes the digital camo knit cap :D) and CDs (including the Thousand Foot Krutch Anthology, Switchfoot’s New Way to be Human and Learning to Breathe, and Norma Jean’s Redeemer (on backorder, but shipped) I got for the layout:
- Atlas B23-7 Conrail #2002 (ran it for 5 mins then took it apart and stripping paint)
- Atlas Frisco 2 Bay Airslide covered hopper
- Walthers Paragon Heating kit (decent, but I MUCH prefer DPM after assembling the Walthers kit abt 75%)
- Polly Scale paint (Railbox yellow, BM Blue, and DRGW Freight Car red)
- Highball ballast
- Micro Engineering right hand turnout
- 3 lengths of Atlas flextrack (on order)
- Atlas rail joiners (metal)
It’s going well on the layout. replaced a pair of insulated joiners that were killing a turnout (runs well now), cut up a Trackside Transfer kit I’ve had for a while, and re-arranging stuff. video soon.
