 Well if you count the several Chuck Packs near the end of last month and start of December then it was a Lifel Like/ Walthers NP 0-8-0 ,Atlas Ford Fairmount Autos and Balma Porta Johns,or if we are talking right now CREEST MOUSE then it is either more scenery work on my layout or big ticket items coming in 1/08. Big Boys and the SP Daylight Train.     Nate Goodman(Nato). In a Snowy Salt Lake, Utah. Brrrrrrr!

I got no hobby related stuff, but I did score brownie points when she 'unwrapped' her 2001 Mustang GT convertible.  17000 miles and under 15000 bucks.  I just hope that IM starts taking preorders on their cab forward before the car becomes just a car!

Brian, awesome IAIS GP38! 

For train stuff I got my own copy of Van Horn's Road (the bible on construction era CPR), a pile of DVD's on the last days of steam (Canada & US) and a new airbrush (no more patching together my old one :))

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I got about 20 mpg of oil, and 40 mpg of gas; for about 25 miles.

Seven quarts of oil and 6 miles later, I made it home without a tow truck.

Good enough for me. 

TiVo, you mind if I re-gift your coal to General Motors for ever designing the 2.8L V6?  Worst engine ever conceived...

No train related things for me but my son has gotten the HO bug :P, so he got an Atlas SF U23B, a couple of box cars and caboose along with a Kato Unitrack set thanks to Chuck.

I also had an awesome Christmas.

My first Fox River box (they're tough to find round these parts), an AN box that I'm pretty sure says "If lost, return to Gregg c/o AN Port St. Joe" on there somewhere, a FRTS Gift Certificate for all that stuff that's coming soon, and my absolute favorite (and I'm sure source of future derision), a Bachmann "Modern" 4-4-0.



I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it, but here's one of my biggest sources of inspiration:

Santa used three different mail order outfits. FRTS ran by drunk elf named CHULVIS really
came through. Nu-Line warehouse, detail parts and then my daughter used Walthers and
more detail parts and some rolling stock and my wife used Internet Trains. Ordered Dec 2
and nothing yet - Dig this - They are waiting on BLMA stuff to ship. They are in Brea, CA
right next door to Fullerton where Craig's company is. The item I thought Santa would
have a problem with, Walthers Cornerstone ADM grain elevator, they actually have. Sucks
when you have to track your own gifts. Anyway, off for the week. Gonna work on a web
site for the layout.
