Joined: 25/07/2001(UTC) Posts: 11,162		So, what train related items are under the Christmas tree this year? Unfortunately no surprises under the tree for me this year... However there is one train related item under the tree... A cheap plastic "Train Master" battery operated huge train set for my son's little half-brother of 5 yrs. If he likes to play with that, there will be a Märklin digital starter set next year for him...

Joined: 19/12/2006(UTC) Posts: 348 Location: , Florida		I gently discourage adults from trying to get me anything train related unless I know they really understand the hobby and my particular interests in it. Gifts have always been special to me and I don't like the thought of "losing" one in a yard full of cars and locomotives. On the other hand, my children can get me anything my layout "needs"[:p] This year saw my mildly autistic daughter get her tee totaling fire and brimstone preacher Daddy a 4 wheel German beer reefer and my son getting me an HO special edition Mother's Day collector's big rig, both of which will have honored front row positions on my layout. Trains will be under my tree this year, though...

Robert upgraded it to high efficiency and added a loksound and a huge speaker. I spent about an hour with my lokprogrammer 'tuning' it last evening and the performance and sound is incredible. It is really a nice lok and a great addition to my Marklin collection. r/mark

[image]http://www.sem-co.com/~rschaffr/trains/images/bigboy02.jpg[/image] (this picture is from several days ago before the presents appeared) Actually we will be celebrating twice. My younger son (34) will be here in the morning, but my older son and his family (my two grand kids) are at his wife's home for Christmas. We will be exchanging presents on New Years with them.

Nothing under my tree but plenty in storage in Florida. I will be paying a visit in the New Year to pick up one or two items. In honour of John B one of the items I bring back will be the Alaska set, which I also like alot!! Not sure about other one. Perhaps Swedish Wooden Train or 37184 and Orient Express coaches?? Any advice Juhan?? Can't bring back more as it would push my good relations with friends at Customs toooooooo much.(100% duty)! Ouch. Once again best wishes for the New Year, Jeremy.

Joined: 22/11/2006(UTC) Posts: 669 Location: Shoreline, WA		This year I ran the Bachmann & LGB under the Christmas tree as per our family tradition. As I did not think I was going to get a Marklin present, I bought a vintage silver fish (4043) on Ebay w/obx. But to my suprise under the tree was a Lionel Polar Express set, with my name on it. As one of those model railroaders who are into 3 scales, HO Marklin, O scale 3 rail, & G scale, this was great. The loco has a diecast body, smoke and appears to have good detailing. All the cars have interior lights. Last but not least, while shopping, I came across another Bachmann G scale starter set, at a give away price, so I grabbed it. My kids want me to get the Lionel up and running, so it might get crowded under the tree next year.

Actually, I bought it all myself. You see, Mrs. S and I have been happily married for more than 47 years. After so many Christmases, Anniversaries and Birthdays, what else can we buy for each other? So, this year I suggested we each buy whatever we want for ourselves, and on Christmas Eve I opened her presents, and she opened mine. Great fun, and even a few surprises. We will do it again. Hope everyone enjoyed this Christmas as much as I did, and best wishes for the New Year. Hal
