Hi all, so we had an early Christmas as the Kids and grandkids wont be here on Christmas day!
But they did get Grandpa Choo Choo some rolling stock from Menards. I got the flatcar with the Mountain Dew truck and the flatcar with the Budweiser Truck. Then the mother-in- law got me the Western Pacific box car, that I am thinking about trading if anyone is interested as I don't have any other Western Pacific cars.

Mike,
Great Christmas presents, I picked up the new Lionel 2017 Christmas Box Car when I was visiting the Brady Christmas Railroad Store in the Westmoreland Mall in Greensburg, Pa.

Nice looking car there Dave! It will look really nice under the tree!
Big Mike G,
Yep thanks for the idea, plan on adding it to the Hallmark/Lionel Toy Maker Santa Express Train that will run under the Christmas Tree in the Formal Living Room this year.

Nice! 
I like the paint jobs on those trucks.
They sure are nice trucks!
Looks like Grandpa Choo Choo did well on early Christmas! I'm sorry the kids won't be able to visit Christmas Day!!
Thanks Mark, I think I did really well! I too am sorry they wont be here, but grandma and I will be together, so it will be a great day!

word of advice . keep the western pacific car . The mother in law knows what she bought & will look for it next time she is over ! Or will ask for pictures year after year .
Do not anger the Women in your life . You will never get a train present again !
I have the Western Pacific car & New York Central car .

That sounds good! I could get into a quiet Christmas at home. We will have each of our daughters and their husbands here for a while. My mother-in-law will be there too. She’s the one who makes things hectic, not thinking quite right any more.

Thanks for the great advice, I will just slide it in among the others! Your right I don't want to be in a bad place with her or my wife! Thanks again!
Nice rail cars. I have the silver Western Pacific with yellow feather. My early Xmas present9and only one) that I bought myself, sits on a shelf right now but is a good runner.
I like the Christmas car and the Santa! I collect blow molded Christmas decor.
