I know many of you look forward to my posts, and I appreciate the many kind words you have forwarded to me.
Tonight I am looking toward the next couple of months. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years right around the corner, I have a few questions for you:
1. Will you purchase train related gifts for friends or club members this year?
2. If so, will you buy items that you like and hope they like it, or will you think of what they like and buy that? (now be honest)
3. Do you tend to pay more attention to trains and layout work during the holiday months?
4. When guests come to your home during the holidays will you encourage them to see your trains and layouts?
5. Do you set up a train that runs around the Christmas tree? And if so, is it just a plain circle or do you add some turnouts and other features?
6. Do you feel guilty buying from faceless internet dealers during the holidays and support the local retail train shop?
7. For November and December, what days and hours should your local train shop be open if you had it your way?
8. Do you think many folks get introduced to model trains during the holiday and expand their interest the following year?
9. If you owned a train shop, would you put beginner related items on sale to attract new modelers?
10. Do you run any special rolling stock or locomotives during the holidays that you do not run the rest of the year, i.e. Christmas Cars, the Egg nog reefer, etc.?
