Yeah, most people will just buy you something cheesy train-related knick knack. The idea it'll be something you really want is unlikely, I'd think. Heck, my train wants are very specific even within the hobby itself, nobody would ever get that right, and otherwise it'd be something I'd have to sneak down to Goodwill or sell at the next model train show.
Heck, I have enough problems with the stuff I order for myself. I just got one of the Menard's quonset huts and found I can't do anything that I'd had in mind with it (shortening it and putting a full interior inside with new windows along the sides) as I had no clue it was ceramic. It's going out to the 'train show boxes' in the shed. And that's something I'd wanted.
