If you are in that "Ba Humbug" feeling, you can give the gift of coal! Lionel bagged coal!

Works for me but I bet Lionel doesn't have enough.

The perfect gift for the official proclaimer of seasons: Daffy Duck!

If L cannot come out with Fast Track at the right time, then coal is low on the L import list.

It is a family tradition here. I'm not saying how many bags we have, but if it were real and we needed to heat the house, we wouldn't freeze for the entire winter.

Though the rivalry will never cease between Lionel and MTH as far as engines, rolling stock, track, control systems and other stuff goes, I can assure you that each company's bag of coal burns exactly the same...

Hey, that is an idea! L coal to a MTH nut. MTH coal to a L nut.......

Actually, Tom Crathcit would not mind some coal to burn at the office!

I've taken the little cloth bags Lionel Coal comes in and put treats and give them out during the holidays....

I've also put a bag of Lionel in the kids stocking!

I think this thread is making a point: model railroaders like bags of coal.

Besides, they justify buying or making Naughty and Nice freight cars for appropriate loads.

Merry Christmas
