I wish Santa would have left me a UP H-7...But he was good in other ways!
Well, that's one way to look at it. . . .
My son in Chicago was given a box of old trains by his elderly neighbor last week. Junior shipped them to me. They arrived the day before Christmas. I have had a great time sorting through the stuff and doing some fixing up.
Santa brought a track cleaning boxcar, 3 DZ-2500 switch motors, a Craftsman height-adjustable stool on wheels (gonna be great for train-table work), and a bottle of Death's Door vodka from Door County, Wisconsin. Great fun...

I got the Lionel Bethlehem Service Station Set because I'm still trying to work out my own version of "Steel Town U.S.A. that appeared in OGR runs 260, 261 and 263.
I received a MTH Norfolk & Western Hi-Cube Box Car, MTH State of Maine Tank Car, Miller Engineering LifeSavers sign, and the Woodland Scenics Ethyl Gas Station.

I got the US assembled Navy flatcar and a gift certificate for a local hobby shop. I gave my father in law a small shelving unit (4 shelves 4 foot long), a few prints of some old steam engines, and a gift certificate for the same hobby shop. We spent the day putting up shelves in his basement, and are planning on putting up the shelving unit tomorrow , followed by a trip to said hobby shop.

My wife (VP Finance around here) has been complaining that I didn't need any more trains because there wasn't any more room in the basement to store them. If you saw the basement, you would agree with her. So... what do I get for Christmas? TRAINS! Not a lot but in the spirit... the Polar Express 10th Anniversary Box Car and the Christmas Eggnog Tanker, along with the Hallmark 2037 ornament set. Gotta love her!
Merry Christmas, all.
Got the newly released Lionel PW Aerial Missile Car.
And my son gave me a couple of Post War cars. Both in really great condition.
6119 Work Caboose.
Lehigh Valley Hopper.

Picking up my Polar Express this Saturday. My wife wasn't to sure what exactly I wanted even tho my grandson tried to steer her to what I liked so the acquisition part of my gift is being left to me. I''m going to get the 10th anniversary boxcar to go along with it too. I'll gradually accumulate the other cars during the year.

I bought myself a Premier Lehigh Valley ES44 NS heritage unit. It looks good running with my Southern heritage engine.
