What train stuff would you like the Magic Man to bring you this year?
I’d take anything if he can fit into his very tight budget somehow. He will be bringing a new board for layout under tree early this year. That should do it. First time for DCC trains under tree.
$100,000,000,000 in $20 if not $10s will work.
On a serious note, just some new track, and maybe a cement plant. I have a good bit of brass track, but i rather start the bottom of the layout with silver.
I am sure my list will be different in a few weeks.
Not for just me, but for everyone who still has to make a living.
A sound economy.
He did once bring me 2 4x8 boards and 2 4x8 pieces of 1 inch foam core for 1 xmas. That is what started me off in model railroading.

For me I hope that if Santa doesnt bring me one on Xmas, in the next year to pick up a new large scale Piko 0-6-0 saddletanker, but mostly that I make significant progress on building my layout now that I’ve finally cleared out the garage enough to get back to work on it.
Isn’t it funny how receiving a sheet of foam insulation for Xmas is considered a cool gift.[(-D]
I’ll take a new pancreas and a winning Powerball ticket so I can have it “installed”.
Um–Peace and Good-will to all mankind, an end to the Recession.
Oh, and yah–a Sunset brass Z-6 4-6-6-4.

A basement!
Ground foam. Lots of ground foam. And trees. Lots and lots of trees.
I could also use a large helping of creativity and artistic ability, and several bottles full of spare time.
The LOTTERY side is already taken care of, now how about a few more years with my mother would be great. And I also could use a new Pancreas if it isn’t to much trouble. But the mother wish would come first.

For non-train related stuff:
A good job, a good girlfriend, and my car repainted.
For train related stuff:
Athearn Genesis F45s with sound/DCC, Athearn or Intermountain F-units with sound DCC in an ABBA set, supplies to get my C424s done (including 3 new shells, nothing works to strip the kato paint), atlas SD24s with sound/DCC
I want Santa to bring the Stewart F9 A-B set (Erie Mining Co.) that I ordered a long time ago…but not until after payday or I’ll be in trouble!!
At the top of my Liszt is a Bowser L-1 Mikado Deluxe kit. Second is a Rivarossi NYC Dreyfuss Hudson. Third and fourth are some Walthers NYC passenger cars to go with the Hudson and my Niagara.
And then there’s more RAM for my awesome computer that I built.
LOL LOL Yes, Who else but some of us model railroaders would think pink or blue insulation and a sheet of plywood are “great”?? Some wire to boot?
{I’ll second the pancreas, and take the Mega Millions for installation. They left my gall bladder in too long and it damaged my pancreas so now I’m hypoglycemic (opposite of diabetic) and gained 70 lbs needing to eat to keep sugar level UP.
That is second to a new pair of lungs…the extra bile and acid the gallbladder pumped out 24/7 damaged my stomach, esophagus and refluxed into my lungs. They have surgery “fixed” the stomach/esophagus, but Hence the reason my lungs are damaged, requiring O2 at night and I can get out of breath walking to mailbox. A good breath of fresh air that isn’t pumped through a machine would be nice.}
Dually noted and seconded.
Darn it! why didn’t I think of that? I’m happy with new board for tree layout. This week early delivery, please!
an Ho scale Dcc trackmobile is topps on my wish list,Plus some Ho scale people,and a 5 story iron front building.
I just really wish for good health for all the MRR"s on here and hope they all get what they want and or need, and also i am thankful for my wife who is very understanding of all this train madness and still loves me anyway, i really can’t ask for a better present then that! can any of you? also she is so darn cute and sweet!
Chuck, the luckiest hubby of all time!!!
All I ask this year is that Santa and his goofball reindeer make a better landing on my roof than last year. Smashed roof tiles and bent guttering have cost me a small fortune to repair and replace and I can’t really look at the credit side of all this because most of the gifts he brought were rubbish. I re-gifted these to parsimonious relatives who I rarely see these days.
Also, I wish he had a better plan for those of us who don’t have a chimney than kicking in the front door with those ugly size 20 snow boots and shouting Ho Ho Ho at the family cat.
In fact, if he overshot our house this time around it would be a blessing and the best Christmas gift ever.[swg]
