Merry Christmas everyone! I got my MTH LIRR RS-1 in Tichy paint scheme. Yes, the cab roof is not painted black and  the PFA sounds are incorrectly for passenger service and not freight (Tichy painted engines were only used in freight service), but i love it!  It loaded up in dcs without a hitch and operates flawlessly.  Paint and other details look great.  The accent sounds, bells, and whistles are loud, clear and fabulous.   The only thing I had to do was  turn down the smoke to minimum since she smokes like a steam engine,  which makes a diesel look like it has severe engine problems. Otherwise, a great engine for what is probably my last newly manufactured MTH engine.  So, what did you all get?

Please dont get jealous when reading this. I am single and have two jobs and a real love of model trains. So here goes. Four Lionel legacy engines. The visionline UP challenger, 4014 excursion big boy, santafe northern and the santafe s4 switcher all brand new from trainworld/santa😋

Used I got mostly all mth preimer engines.  The UP coal turbine set, the UP veranda set. Two santafe hudsons and a texas 2-10-4. A santafe f3 aba set wich is also premier. Last but not least a hardly used legacy daylight with whistle steam. So with all this I think I may not be getting any trains for a few Christmases. Btw Being single with two jobs and a nice train savings fund does not hurt either😁  and no wife to complain thats two much money on those lousey trains. Now off to the layout to enjoy them. Merry Christmas to everyone here.

Finally got my Pere Marquette engine from the family and running it all day today in the peace and not so quiet of my train room.  Only sounds heard are the bells and the whistles of trains running around the tracks.  I've been wanting this engine for ever since I consider it a Michigan train.  Saw the real thing a few years ago pull into the station in Clare Mi. and it was a wonderful site.  Today as I say forget the Covid, just me and my trains running around the track.  Just need it renumbered to 1225 now.IMG_7788IMG_7792
