Except MTH are all out of stacker boards. Might have to go DCC since that is what is available.

OH- and a craft ice mold that makes golf ball's
Merry Christmas.

Absolutely.....but with Johnny Walker........
We flew the oldest home, Springfield IL, from Tacoma. Little sister is home from college at Bloomington IL. Wife and I are searching for a condo to winter/vacation so we didn't spend much. I got a light train blanket. It's soft and the cats like it. Life is good. Family is the best present.
I gave the second edition of Jim Shaughnessy's The Rutland Road to my twin brother and to my son, I gave the shark rescue aquarium car, O-scale cattle for his scale stock car, and the Area 51 hazmat barrels, which are the same plastic barrels for the barrel loader building, but in glow-in-the-dark material and with radioactive symbols—a bit of a disappointment.
Not an engine or rolling stock, but I received this 160 page 2023 paperback from my sister in Idaho. It’s a historical account of the Island Park section of Union Pacific’s Yellowstone branch, that ran through our home town, which is 50 miles southwest of Yellowstone National Park and 50 miles west of Grand Teton National Park.
To me, it’s fascinating reading because I grew up not far from Island Park and am familiar with the places mentioned in the book. I enjoy short books about railroad branch lines.

I bought stuff for myself, too. The packages arrived just before Christmas. I got some track, a few Lionel Fastrack O72 Remote/Command Switches, a pair of LCS Sensor Tracks, and a pair of LCS 10' PDI Cables.
