I have been in this hobby for many years, too many to admit. There has always been a few ground breaking developments that have made this scale interesting, new products that have kept my interest and lowered my daily stress! I have never met some of these individuals but their hard work has made my life more enjoyable. I wish to thank the following people and wish you a Merry Christmas, I  may not know your name but I still wish to extend my heart felt thanks:

 

The hard working individuals at OGR and the people that have provided their services to make this Forum and magazine an enjoyment to relax and communicate our hobby

 

Mike Reagan and Jon at Lionel for their hard work in making picky customers like me happy. Cannot wait to buy that new Big Boy.

 

Mike Wolf for making really nice scale products that have populated my layout.

 

Jeb from Megasteam. Thank you for making a cool product makes my steamers look so realistic, smell great, and keeps the wife out of the basement (just kidding) she is warming up to the Hot Chocolate flavor!

 

Ross switches- I wish I could afford more of these, but talk about trouble free operation with no shorts or dropped connections, my heart thanks you.

 

Gargraves and Atlas: Thank you for producing great realistic track with trouble free and reliable connections. And Atlas - keep up the amazing work on your scale passenger CZ cars and freight cars

 

Scenic Express and Woodland Scenics- Keep up with the amazing scenery products- my layout never looked so good. And those new buildings - fantastic!

 

Weaver - Wow - you have just opened my eyes to some great scale freight cars, love the troop transports- and your TMCC steam engines are real sleepers- very nice

 

ERR - Ken and the technical group - Thank you for upgrading your technology with new control and sound boards - my older TMCC engines are overdue for upgrades.

 

My wife for putting up with me hosting the rowdy Detroit Three Railers and countless bandit meets, she is always great with the beverages and the pizza hot line. 

 

The many people I have purchased products from here on the forum. You have regained my faith and trust in the system

 

I know I have generalized people and products, there are so many more that support the hobby. I want to say thank you, Merry Christmas,

and keep up the great work!

I can't do it better.....so I will agree and just add thanks to all the OGR staff and the things they provide us.

 

And I will echo the fact I too have had some dealings with OGR Forum members....and each dealing went perfect without a hitch. It says something about the place OGR has built here.

 

I am thankful for many things this year......Merry Christmas to all!

I would add a big thank you to all of the Forum members who contribute their knowledge to make this the best O-Gauge informational source known to mankind. Additionally, I have made many friends that I would have never got to know were it not for this Forum.

 

So thanks to the OGR staff for making this possible and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

I f I were to thank folks in addition to list above it would be the entire forum participants.

 

No where else do you have a group that is willing to help and share their experiences.  Share their trains and open their homes.

 

No where else do you see a broad range of personalities that make me laugh, shake my head, do a double palm face plant, or just plain wonder.

 

That being said as a group it certainly is one of the best places on the web.

I have been a member of this site for a few years but, only within the last year have I begun posting and thereby become engaged with the community.  My thanks is to all of you for your many comments, assistance and displays of craftsmanship.  In addition I have been invited to personally meet several of you at open houses offered by Captain John and Passenger Train Collector.  Thank you all for sharing our love of the hobby.  Merry Christmas....  

Echo x3 on the purchases here from our great forum members, and, add to that the huge shared Knowledge wealth that has aided me in the past{past like yesterday too}.

I have to freely admit if it weren't for quite a few folks here my son and I wouldn't be running trains so easily as we are. I, myself, try and pay that forward as often as I can with the little I know.

- Thank You all!

 

I tip a cup of nog to all of you...and question if Jerry should stay away from the spiked stuff..........lil people....  

I'll add my 2 cents worth here as well...

 

This forum is a blessing to all who are members and those who happen to stumble upon it.  Without all of the tremendous effort put forth by the crew at OGR, it would not have been possible to learn and create wonderful friendships.

 

Thanks also go to the sponsors who not only support this forum but also supply us with nice deals on the products and services that we enjoy so much!

 

And last but certainly not least; to all of the friends I have made and to those I have yet to meet...

 

May your holiday season be filled with fond memories of friends and family all blessed with good health, wealth and happiness.  However, keep in mind that He is the reason for the season.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

 

Best,

Dave

Yes, yes, I like this post.

To the OGR people, and the many friends I've made on this Forum; at meets; Mike Reagan and Lionel buddies who remain in Ohio; Mike, Rich & Andy at MTH; people I've met at York; my NJ HiRailers friends, and all I've forgotten to list separately, I wish you

the best health,

a Merry Christmas,

a happy and healthy New Year

and come see me at Trainstock VI.

Gerry

I have to agree with you there. I have so much time and aggravation by asking many a "dumb" questions and solving them myself.

Thanks guys and have a Happy New Year!
