Christmas Day Check-IN

[railman537]

Ok guys lets spill the beans on how NICE or NAUGHTY we were this year by telling what we got for XMAS.

Myself, I got a neat looking video game called "Sid Meir's Railroads" as well as a few pieces of rolling stock and finally an Atlas DCC locomotive.

 

[65GASSER]

Well so far I have gotten a gift certificate to my LHS and a new storage container for my detailing parts, but that was yesterday. Wonder what I'll get today?

 

[91rioja]

Gosh, we haven't even started yet. My wife is still sleeping. . . .

 

[Illus]

We had Christmas on Christmas Eve this year, I am at work pulling Fire Watch. My son is only 11 weeks old, so he won't know, but next year somebody else gets this duty.
Anyhow, my wife heard my intrest in modeling a Steel Mill, so I had a very HO Steel Mill X-Mas. Rolling Mill, Power House, Ore Bridge, everything I got is steel related... Plus a DCC starter set and an Airbrush
My wife Rules!!!!!!!

Have a Merry Christmas all...

Well next year there will be a BIG FIRE in the fire place with lots of smoke for Santa! All that old goat brought me was some pocket t-shirts,some socks and 2 pair of levis...
Well at least I didn't get a tie.

I was very nice this year . I got a Stewart FT Santa Fe Warbonnet A-B-B-A set. I already started to detail it (I got a lot of detail parts for them too). I’ll post some pics later.

 

[Nomad]

I got cash from the wife two weeks ago, $50, and another $50 from brother-in-law last night.

well seeing how im orthodox i dont get stuff until new year. but i wont be getting anything train related, atleast i highly doubt it, my parents only started finding out about my interest for these things a couple of days ago. but i am getting a longboard. wish this train stuff wasnt so expensive and maybe id have a better chance of getting some

 

[railohio]

Nothing on Christmas day; everything I got so far was in advance.

My parents got me plane tickets and spending money for my trip. "Kitsune" from here on The Gauge got me Amtrak tickets from Ohio to Portland and from Portland to Seattle. "RidgeRunner" hasn't shipped my present yet, although I know it came from the Little Choo Choo Shop in Spencer. :thumb: Another friend we'll simply call "Furball" got me the first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex on DVD. :thumb: There are a few more outstanding packages I'm expecting but I'm sure they'll show up while I'm out of town.

Merry Christmas to everyone else on The Gauge!

 

[91rioja]

Would you believe that I didn't get anything train related this year. I guess the hints I dropped fell upon deaf ears. . . . .

 

[Herc Driver]

Chris - take yourself as soon as possible to TLCCS in Spencer and buy yourself something great - and if anyone family member asks why, let them know that this forum told you that you must.

(Hey, 8 out of 10 voices in my head tell me to buy train stuff all the time) :thumb:
