My wife was asking what I wanted for Christmas... Frank

Mine too. Though I didn't mention it. She needs to stay around $200.00.

I thought I wouldn't mind having a decent locomotive for switching. I only have two. One Lionchief came in the Keystone Special Set and the other is a 1666 from 1946 that belonged to my uncle. Its mostly fixed. I need to make another order with Jeff at the Train Tender.

Hopefully it won't be the last one I get, so I may just wait on a "nice" switcher and let her get me something else. I greatly appreciate all of the recommendations. It gives me a lot to consider. Concerning Legacy. I hadn't considered used, but now maybe I will.

As for my wife and a gift. That Lionel Tank Loco looks good as does the A5 0-4-0 steamer or the Williams 44 Tonner in Southern or the SAL RSC-3, or who knows. I suppose that what train to tell my wife I want for Christmas would be another thread.

Thanks again.
