    Dear Santa,

    I am not sure I have been 100% good this year, but here is my list, anyway.

    • 24 Rio Grande SD40T-2s equipped with Digitrax decoders
    • 38 custom-painted Micro-Trains TTX 89' TOFC flats
    • 30 Sunrise Enterprise searchlight signals (12 1-target, 12 2-target, 6 3-target)
    • 60 Sunrise Enterprise dwarf signals
    • 100 assorted MTL freight cars representing the Grande's connecting lines (SP, CB&Q, CRI&P, MP, WP)
    I know you can do this for less than $10 grand. I mean, you have contacts, right? Wow - are there really elves in China?

    Yours faithfully,

    Bryan

    Hi, Santa!
    I have been a good boy this year (regardless of what my parents say)!
    I want 2, 25-car trains of Trainworx D&RGW quad hoppers, RTR. Make mine 'Flying' schemed, along with a good mix of 'Action Railroad' and 'Action Road' cars.
    Last thing: 2 L-132, 3600-class 2-8-8-2 articulateds; or 2 D&SL 200-class mallets!

    For me, PRR Class XL boxcars, PRR thence FGE R7 refrigerator cars, and ACL ventilator boxcars, better known as "watermelon cars". A PRR H6sb Consolidation would be nice, too.

    I'd settle for as many deliveries as announcements in N scale, though. :embarassed:

    Santa,

    I have all the crap I need, but if your elves have any talent in decoder installation, wiring for DCC, or even installing facia, lighting, and related supports, let them spend Xmas eve in my garage/layout room.....

    Dear Santa,

    I have been a bad boy and since I am also honest, I would love to see the MR Clinchfield layout under my tree this christmas. If this is too much to ask, then could you please give me the talent, tools and materials to make it:shade: ?

    Sincerely,

    Memster

    Dear Santa,

    I've been a good boy, except maybe when I did the wash and my Missus's things in the wrong setting. Of course thats just her point of view. Lets see some heavyweight cars with AC duct roofs. And could you persuade MicroScale to make some SP&S steam and passenger car decals?.

    Sincerely,

    John

    I want only 2 things.

    First, a buyer for alan curtis models, or Alan to rethink his retirement decision.

    Second, Intermountain to finally release their 60 chain tie down flatcar, in all three lettering versions and 12 numbers each. HTTX, OTTX and TTHX.

    Not to much to ask is it?

    More time in the day would be nice. Or less tired...

    Short of that, how about a nice N scale CF-7.. :) I know it won't happen, but hey, you gotta dream!

    I have many things ahead of trains, but in terms of model railroading, I would most like the time to work with what I already have!

    I'd like a basement of my own to put my trains in, if it comes with a house attached that would be ok too.

    Nothing this year, but the health of four members of my family. Jeanne's been gone for all but four days this month, and will be on her way to Oregon tomorrow to be with her older sister. We had our annual "Channukmas" party Friday night. We started the night with the lighting of candles, had a nice meal featuring potato latkes, then decorated the tree. I have enough train stuff to last another ten years.

    Dear Santa,
    I would like a space-time continuum machine so that I can spend more time on my hobby and still accomplish all the other things I need to do.

    P.S. An N scale ten wheeler would be nice too.

    Eric
