I have one photo of it but i cant get it till I go back to base on Sunday. Mick might have a pic of it more avalible, but if not you will all just have to wait till sunday, its is a sweet looking engine, now if only the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor were just a litlle bigger it would be perfect....

I received two Kato F-7's that my wife procured from Ebay and she also got me two Red Caboose Centerbeam Flat cars in TTX. I also got a total of $85.00 in Hobbytown gift certificates from the management and appreciative customers. They will come in handy when the Intermountain Tunnel motors arrive.
Lets see, I got: A 53' spine car set... on the way! Two new Athearn Billboards and One of the Roadway cabover tractors. (really cool, nice detail but the 5th wheel hole needst to be bigger to fit trailers). A subscrtiption to CTC, maybe now I will get my DINA pics published. Two of the LBF skybox cars. and some cash for spending. Another good year!
I got some Red Caboose TTX 73' spine cars for myself. Hey Herman do you know where to get some more of these?
two SP & S RS-1's (from Atlas), a special run from the Hobbysmith here in Portland. Also a couple of building kits. Even returned some clothes to get enough money to purchase a spray painting booth. Nothing changes. I'm 36. Would have done the same thing if I were 12.
My wife got me one the new Life Like 2-8-8-2's plus the Pentrex DVD "Steam to the Grand Canyon" I guess I was a good boy this year
Brent, didn't you get my card? You forgot you are allowed to get yourself one present to open! I got myself some spare parts. Wife got me a seven volume set of American Railroad History of the Steam Engine, (VHS). The family gave me a heavy weight cotton flannel plaid shirt, bundle of warm knit long sox, a Lionel Automatic coin separator complete with working clock in the RR Station and little train running around with full sounds, and NO volumn control! Also got two 2-8-8-2's, an old metal Mantua B&O 4-6-2 Pacific, and an electric nut-chopper. (I only have three teeth left, and they don't match, so trying to gum a peanut doesn't get the job done. Hense, the grinder!) It will even do hard bacon !
My wife got me a new undec Kato SD40 (latest Run) as well as a Microtrains NP 50ft standard double door boxcar and an Atlas GN Standard Cupola Caboose Terry
I got book...Southern Pacific in Color Vol.2, videos..SP When, and SP by the bay, and one of them Atlas 50th anniversary box cars.

For Christmas? The boss lets me buy my own presents now. $100.00 in gift certificates from SCALE REPRODUCTIONS HOBBY SHOP in Louisville KY (a real good hobby shop). The relatives have learned that I am real easy to shop for! Two weeks before Christmas, I was able to obtain around 30 assorted Micro-Trains/Kadee for $150.00. Over 20 of the cars were old mint condition, never run, blue label KADEE cars. The wife was even happy to see me get this deal. Also received El Dorado's 3rd Planit model railroad trackplanning program. Still learning how to use this software. What a way to layout design!
