Santa brought a 9 year old that couldn't get to sleep until 1:00 AM ish; a cell phone that got called three times by drunks at 4:00 AM before I got up and pitched the damn thing; a child who woke up at 5, got everyone up at 5:30 AM.... The sum total of which now has me now typing solely on the power of Starbucks Pike's Market Roast java and will; before too long have me sound asleep on a couch somewhere in the chateau we call Mike's place..... Santa brought me no railway related items but I am now the proud owner of a really cool, big butt Green Bay Packers coffee mug that will keep me primed....  ;)

Slippers. 
Thankfully my bride and sister did not conspire to get me anything railway related this year.  They both seem to favour "Southern' over "Southern Pacific" because the green is so much more attractive, to them. 

A few years ago the G scale boxcar for my birthday is a thrill that I won't soon forget...

Apparently Santa is sending me and my wife, our son and girlfriend, and her parents on a cruise for the first week of January 2013 so the tree doesn't have as many presents to help Santa afford this.  But lots of good fellowship with fellow modeller's following up to Xmas.  And, a buddy modified a bug zapper for me so  now I have a grass flocker for the new year grass laying.

Sorry to hear that Mike  :o (Not about getting no railway related items but about the GB Packers mug  :P)

I didn't get any model railroad stuff or the hockey season I was praying for. Oh well, I'll have to settle for the house full of people coming over later to eat and drink me out of house and home.  :D

Nothing for the layout (not that I need anything more!)... Plus relying on others to buy stuff without knowing what I would want or need *shutter*.

Did receive "Conrail In Color-Volume 1: 1976-1979"

Just leafing through it brings back a lot of good memories.

And I received "Lost Railroads of Western New York-Volume 2: The Lehigh Valley from Depew to Niagra Falls"

As I get older I appreciate the old LV more and more.

Santa brought me a Bachmann Connie for H10 kitbash fodder and a litho of Gare du Nord in Paris in the steam era to go in our living room.  We visited there on our honeymoon.

I got (and will receive) a bunch of Micro-Trains cars, assorted tractors and trailers, and Precision Masters 40' reefers from eBay. Way overspent!



Hmm... another Christmas,
another year spent away
from my family in Borneo...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Well that's better than almost anything Bill; except an NHL doubleheader (Leafs vs Habs, Bruins vs Hawks) and a fridge full of Molson's...eh... alas that, like an N scale Royal Hudson is but a dream....sigh !

A Walthers 130' turntable and 3 Trainworx "Bud of California" trailers. No self-respecting UP "VAN" train is complete without the Bud trailers.
