An early and unexpected Christmas gift.....

You Sir, are a truly blessed man.

That was really nice of your moving patient to give you those trains. One good deed deserves another! However, that was a pretty quick return of good deeds. Looks like a nice set and I hope you enjoy it. 

Wow, looks like Santa came to your place a little early this year.....

Looks great!!

Very Nice!

Such a cool little set! 

And I think that's the first time I really noticed a1034 transformer before. At first I thought it was a 1033 with the orange handle missing!

I also received an early present of sorts today.......I was working on my inventory and discovered that I have an MPC RDC service station set still in its unopened box.  I was delighted to find this item (discoveries like this are the reason I am doing the inventory) and I immediately opened the box.  I serviced the powered unit and my 5 year old grandson is enjoying running it for the first time.  The smile on his face is priceless!!

Very nice gift. you must have earned his admiration.

very nice gift indeed. they must think a lot of you Peter.

What's the saying, "Good things happen to good people".

Speaks volumes for you!

Great gifts go to special folks and your patient must really like you.

Merry Christmas

Thx. for sharing.  What a great surprised that must have been!

Wow, first the O gauge "house call."  Now this.  Peter, you're like a real-life walking, talking Hallmark Holiday movie!!       

Judging from the way each item had been wrapped, the patient valued the train and no doubt had fond memories running it.  Think that speaks volumes regarding the esteem he felt for you.  

Nice train, notice the train cars in the back round, Is that the New Years party train?  Screwdriver express!!

I knew I should have  become a doctor

Nice token of appreciation for sure.

Have to agree!

I agree Peter with the others!  Knowing you, your intention was to share a gift with us that we could all admire, and what a nice gesture from the giver.  However, he had to think well of you to give the gift.  I rejoice with the relationship you and he have had!

Many years of happy railroading with them Doc. The silver truck tender, I never saw one that color. Is that a rare piece?

So very cool, and it DOES speak well of you. That Marx crossing gate is icing on the cake. Merry Christmas!

Very cool story Peter. Having been on the receiving end of a gift like this, it does say volumes about your character. Enjoy your gift.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Peter,

   This is definitely the only way to get called back into work around Christmas time!

Merry Christmas Peter and enjoy your new Train!
