Nope.. I got a complete 1963 Oldsmobile all-aluminum 215 V8.
I left a hint a few weeks ago about what I wanted for Father's day/Birthday and they took the bait.
I am now a Menards Hobby shop owner with light kit. It is as awesome as everyone has talked about.
Thank you kid's/grandkid's and wife.

Now that's a cool gift!
No trains, but I did get a nice shop stool. Just being home with the family was awesome.
Nope, I got to spend the afternoon in the ER after my four year old son pushed a Lego up his nose. It's still there and tomorrow we get to see the ENT and have it removed.

I got to spend 6 hours taking apart trains today due to my 3 year old son pouring smoke fluid ( lots of it ) in every opening of every train that was out before I woke up. Luckily all but 1 were saved. The single victim caboose will now become a custom.
Lion Chief Plus RS3 showed up at LHS. Been on order since Apr 2014. Kind of a Fathers Day present. Runs nice!
My Vision Line PFE Reefers showed up so a very nice present.
My dad is a member of the "dark side" so my brothers and I bought him and MTH HO scale Bi-Polar. He loved it.
No trains for Father's Day for me. Oldest son took ME out to eat for a change! That was nice.
My sister is Bi-Polar. Didn't know they came in HO scale too.
My kids always give me something to eat. I buy trains and tell them what they gave me. 
This week I got two Weaver Army boxcars, two Weaver Army Medical supplies trailers/flats and two Atlas Army flats with pipe loads.
I went to a train show in Timonium, MD.
ANd had cake for dessert after dinner.
Took the kid to Charles Ro for the layout and he helped me pick out paint colors from the now on sale discontinued floquil. And he got me two kits, the lionel P&H steam shovel with flat bed car and the crane kit.
2rg,
Not this year, my beautiful wife made a great rib dinner and her home made potato salad for me, I love her home cooked!
Glad you guys got some train hobby stuff for fathers day however.

would have, could have, but got a new phone the day before instead.
Happy w the phone, got away from the aggravating Apple phone to a nice LG G4 android phone. Far more configurable for my taste. Now I can download apps from anywhere, thy don't have to be apple approved and cost me money.
As normal Buyer Beware on such stuff. But I go to well known sources and get good service.
Got an MTH UP FEF and a Proto 1 Veranda Turbine. Both run great, and even better as a double header!

I was taken out to dinner and received some storm grates plus sewer covers.

My wife bought them on Ebay from a place named scalecitydesigns. They will print out whatever you want on the sewer covers. They come in a set of six covers.
I'm not a father, so no.
My father got a postwar Lionel gray LV hopper, since he likes those hoppers and didn't have a gray one.
Nope for me........... just time with my family including two recent grand children!
Got my flyover C & O Defender engine. Building it car by car, have two now with the engine. Should have the rest by August.
