More of a wish: I would love to see the BLI L-4 Mohawks come early:

Tom

Tom, I hope your wish is granted, and Luke’s, too. Mine won’t be, but I can be patient as Tom was patient. I was hoping for a QSI-equipped Sunset CPR Selkirk, but production has been put off indefinitely.

Im hoping I can get one of those new Atlas GP38s with sound in the CSX colors they announced recently.

5

I’m wishing by then I have my layout put back together and can run trains again.

Oh, and maybe I’ll get some stryofoam to use for terrain on the new section. (Does Santa follow these forums, or am I just engaging in wishful thinking? )[:-^]

6

A Job! I paint houses. Then I could afford my hobby.

7

Atlas ACF 23500 gallon tank cars. Republic in 4 numbers and GAF in 4 numbers.

Wait… it’s all out of production. Nuts.

Otherwise I dont have a christmas train list. It’s either boughten and paid for this month or coming in next year because of back orders, limited run orders, pre-orders, announcement orders, reservations and stacks of stuff that is not going to arrive until April 2009 at the earliest.

Oh well, maybe next Christmas I will have all the stuff filled by then.

8

My wish is for BLI to bring the GS4 back into this year, not June 09. Maybe a good 8th grade graduation present? lol.

9

Piko’s new large scale 0-6-0 tanker, and a couple of power blocks so I can finish my latest bashes.

10

No one buys me trains but the Atlas GP40-2’s are due in December so I’ll be buying as many as I can afford. I already have one unnumbered unit payed for (pre-ordered) thought the Rio Grande Modeling and HIstorical Society.

11

I want that Walthers Empire Leather and Tanning kit. That looks like a nice complex for $100!

Hoople-Love that pic! (The SPICE must flow!)

12

The only train-related thing I want for Christmas this year is the space to build a layout along two walls of our second bedroom. [:D]

13

On my list are:

ESU EcOS Command Station (already bought last week)[:D]

BLI UP 2-10-2

Athearn Genesis SF F7 A-B-B-A (late December release so I hope they still make it before Christmas) equipped with Loksound Decoders in all 4 Units.

14

Only one thing on my Christmas wish list, but it won’t be in until January, so my delayed Christmas present to myself will be the Sunset Z-6 4-6-6-4 in Great Northern garb.

Of course if one of my relatives happens to hunt up another M-4 Yellowstone or another Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2, I wouldn’t object at all, LOL! [:P]

Tom [:)]

15

  1. (1) Red Caboose BN Autorack

  2. Pay for the (3) Atlas C40-8 locomotives I have on layaway at the LHS

  3. Put money in the bank for the (2) Kato SD70ACe locomotives I have on order at the LHS

  4. Put money in the bank for the (3) Atlas C40-8W locomotives I have on order at the LHS

  5. Take leftover coins and change from sofa cusions to Coinstar machine, take cash to LHS and buy some track so that #1 through #4 will have something to run on!

  6. Not buy anything else major for the railroad for a LONG while so I can focus on giving instead of getting. I am working real hard on moving this item to #1 in the list.

By the looks of things I guess the recession (yes, there really is one !) has not affected any on this forum, let’s hope the guys that lost their life savings, their house and their job will get a break.

17

2-10-4 BLI C&O

4-8-2 Bachmann Spectrum

Digitrax Zephyr

Those are my main three things but the list goes on and on and on.

While I feel badly for them, it doesn’t change the fact that for me, and for others on this forum, things haven’t changed. In my case, I already have most of the materials needed to build a layout, so even if things DO get a little tighter, procuring the rest (benchwork materials) shouldn’t be terribly difficult.

19

Limiting it to 10 items:

  1. Sound decoder for an Alco C424

  2. Athearn Genesis F45s with sound/DCC

  3. P2k GP30 with sound/dcc, and P2k BN GP30s 2223 and 2216

  4. BN F-units with sound/DCC (seems like athearn only made, i dunno about 5)

  5. Bicentennial BN units. (Atlas has the U30C and the Cabeese, athearn has the SD40-2, but no one makes a good SDP40 in plastic)

  6. Alco C636s and Alco C425s in BN. (atlas makes the later, but not in BN, the former is only in brass)

  7. P2K GP20s in BN with sound DCC.

  8. BLI SD7/9 in BN

  9. Atlas SD24s in BN.

  10. lots more 70s era freight cars.

Stuff out of my hands:

  1. an end to the limited production crap. (seems like there were less than 10 of some of the above units that have been available)

Also, being able to finish all my projects

20

Heres my list:

  1. Walthers P1K BN GP15-1 i need swicthers!

  2. Genesis BN F45 sound or non still up for debate.

  3. Athearn RTR GP50 BN Whiteface! Gotta love BN whitefaces.

  4. Athearn RTR BN Cupola Caboose.

  5. Athearn RTR BN 5-Pack Bethgon Coalporters(silver).

  6. Athearn RTR IC SD40 Death Star Scheme. Gotta love some IC!

  7. GETTING MY BECHWORK DONE!
