Dear Santa, I would love a house of my own to put all my trains in. I would also like a timely anouncment of the following products by various quality N scale manufacturers: 1. GP15-1 2. Comet II commuter cars 3. SW1500 4. CF-7 5. A quality S2 in St. Louis Terminal
Pete I hope you get all that you are hoping for and more... :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
Dear Santa, I know I've done my best at being good but this year has just been worse then last. If you could send me a stick and some coal you would make me very happy. Please Santa, someone gave me a real live steam engine for my birthday and mommy is afraid to let me play with fire. So, please convince her it's ok. I will take the coal and put it in my steam engine and light it with a match and stir it with my stick. You can help me make it go and see it run. I mean, my daddy and my school teacher said the only thing you'd leave a boy like me is a lump of coal and a stick. So, don't forget to stop at my place on Christmas Eve. I promise not to leave any stale cookies and lukewarm milk on the coffee table for you, like last year. You didn't eat them and I got sick when I did. Thank you Santa, Your little friend! This is a letter I wrote to Santa, at about the age of 6 or 7. You should have seen my teachers and dad's face when I told them about my letter to Santa. Screwed up there attempt to discipline me. No, I didn't get the coal. However there was an alcohol kit that I could use to fire up that miniature boiler. And... my first train set, an American Flyer Passenger Train. Who would of thought! I knew somebody cared. Oh, and I still believe! That the spirit of Christmas, Santa Claus and Giving are a very real thing to be found in the hearts of many caring folk, around the world. ***So, Santa if I were to ask today. I would like my American Flyer set back but I don't know how you are going to put all the pieces back together, after my cousins finished with it. It really looked good being dragged through the dirt. Sigh............
Dear Santa, I want one of those new soon to be released Atlas O scale 060 switchers and enough track for it to run on. Oh yeah, some cars and a caboose too. (so i'm dreamin' a little here.)
All I want is to be able to leave work every day at a reasonable hour so I can spend time with my family and my layout (noticed that I put family first in the sentence. ) But they pay you so much damn money that it's like white slavery. Each time you see the paycheck you say "Ooooo, more locos!" It's a damn Catch-22!
Dear Santa: Please go to the Home Depot Manager's house, and make visions of pink foam dance in his head, so that Monday morning he will order some of the stuff and put it on the shelf. Then PM me so I can go over there and get some layout work done.
All I want for Christmas is............my two front teeth! I can't believe no one put that out there yet? No, really, I would just like to be able to get some SD45-2 in ATSF sometime in '07.
To have all our soldier who are abroad to come home safe and heathly and to be able to share in this holiday with their loved ones. Bernard
Electricty to my specifications (starting in ten minutes from now), sheetrock, ceiling and benchwork, coming soon.
Dear Santa, I would like to see one more time SD45 and F45 pushing grain over Marias, all green pls, no pale faces need apply.
And I'll take a week off to chase them across the Pass with you! Big Sky Blue would be good, too! And while you're at it Mr. K, a time machine would be handy....
All I want for X-mas is my Little Joe that I have had paid for for over 2 years now. Oh yeah and for Atlas to get their head out of their you know what and build a CF-7 since they already have the majority of the parts needed and a correct mechanism.
I agree, been there done that. Also more time for family, freinds that I seldom see anymore, and the new layout I started on a year ago. inch
Sure would be neat to see these 'Joes. I cannot afford one, but they would be sweet all the same. After Christmas, I want to take a trip south to see Alaska GP49, and hit the Moffat Route again......
Hemi: Alaska is actually north of Montana. No matter how cold it seems in Montana, Alaska is even further north toward the Artic.
Alaska GP49 is my Moffat buddy, Mike! :shade: I have little desire whatsoever to visit Alaska in January.....
