Santa done brought you...

Nothing says Merry Christmas like spackle. Hobby Lobby stocks JTT products and so does Santa. I have been
in smaller towns over the past few years with only HL. I have had some great results with their architectural
based scenery supplies.

Shopped for myself yesterday.  MT pre-orders finally arrived, and had a little left over on my account so I added the hopper for Gettysburg & Northern interchange traffic.

I usually don’t ask for, and family knows not to try to buy, train things for me, because I model a certain location, road, and era.  However, this year, I asked my wife and kids to make lists of what they wanted for Christmas, because I knew we would only be buying gifts online this year, due to COVID, and I worried about shipping.  Coincidentally, a MicroMark catalog showed up in the mail that day, so I marked a few things to make it easy on my wife.  I received a Walthers UPS truck, a set of needle files, and a MicroMark Sand-It.  That sanding tool will be really helpful finishing my bridge and for my next scratchbuild project, the former-SAL station in Aberdeen, North Carolina.

San Juan Models restarted the Grandt Line product line and I now have two new RGS/C&S Type III boxcars and two new RGS/C&S Type III stock cars (in kit form so not so interesting to photograph).  Also, since San Juan Models makes the most excellent and accurate San Juan Decals line, these cars come with perfectly accurate decals too.

I haven't opened anything yet but I'm sure I will be getting a Milwaukee caboose and an Atlas ATSF GP39-2 with Lok Sound. Sure wouldn't mind some socks though.

Merry Christmas!

I’m really out of it. I had to look up both Rose Apothecary and a 3 in 1 machine. I thought it would slice, dice, and purée. Anyway, I need all the help I can get soldering.

Didn’t ask for anything train related from Santa this year but I got loaded up on Packers and Clemson swag for the playoffs! (My girlfriend is the best)

I DID get a Micro Mark pin vise and drill bit set from my siblings.

@Ed Kapuscinski your mug has made me decide that my next layout once we buy a house in SC is going to be the Wisconsin and Southern Schitt’s Creek branch

I was very lucky:


So I've started playing with some 3-d CAD ideas:


I'm so excited about the possibilities!

The only acceptable form of Packers swag has GBW  reporting marks on it, the rest is the equivalent of a stocking full of coal  :D

@cjm413 already got a GBW boxcar for the knock-off Trujillo & Sons; I’m thinking the Hutson Brothers?

Also, phase 2 of the industrial park on the layout will see me relocate the cold storage and replace it with a non-rail served warehouse that will be named Acme Packing and Logistics  :D :D
