I have no idea what you could POSSIBLY ask Santa to bring you for Christmas........
Fantastic job, Santa!
Love the vacuum!

It's the flux capacitor.....

How many years has it been since I first heard of the flux capacitor, but I never saw one? I'm glad Santa finally unveiled the mystery!
Peter, will you be posting where Santa will be in the coming weeks? I know that he said it's going to be getting busy after October.
…..and, for those of you who think that Santa and his Elves are on vacation…….
Santa remains very busy as we (Santa and his Elves) get his workshop ready for the Winter Season…….we’re not finished yet, but when we’re done, the children will walk through a corridor that is flanked by the River City 3 Railer’s 6x15 and 12x15 O Gauge layouts.
Here is an update showing the setting where Santa will greet the children…….
I was very happy to have an early picture taken with Santa…..
Don’t you love the Reindeer stable?
The flickering fireplace adds a nice touch!
Have a great week everyone……
Peter

😄😄 What a revoltin’ development!! 🤦♂️
I thought Santa spent his off season with an army of elves to help @walt rapp plan his Christmas layout?
@Putnam Division posted:Even in the off-season, Santa is a busy guy and he spent some of his pre-Holiday time, helping our modular group. Since we are losing our storefront space, Santa will allow us to run our smaller layouts while Santa Land is open this December.
Santa just asked for some help is sprucing up Santa Land. We agreed.....indeed, it seems very fair.First, we took apart an old steam locomotive that was showing signs of wear. Next, we worked with Santa and helped him complete a new sleigh based on Santa's own creative design.
These pictures show our progress.
Looks like the mandatory FRA inspection might be challenging. Glad you got started early!

He does! He comes in cognito for obvious reasons. I give him cookies and milk whilst I drink a beer. We have a grand time thinking of ideas.
He's been coming now for something like 18 years. He always has fresh new exciting plans.

Peter, some day we will have to see a demonstration of the features.
@Steve Tyler posted:Maybe just motorize -- perhaps a blown hemi -- instead of the traditional reindeer? It's hard to get good tundra moss this time of year, and *expensive*, what with Holidayflation and all . . .
You're welcome to all the roof moss on my house from the neighbors tree that blocks the sun from shining on it. You will need to remove it. It might not be Tundra Moss but I'm sure it would work!😁🤣
