Stocking Stuffers

Hey Brian, I've got an extra Christmas stocking around.  Can I send it to Maine to get it filled?  Bob   

I have spent more on a stocking some years than the actual gifts!

Brian - She bought me smoke fluid last year and the seal in the bottle was "rippled" and didn't seal.

 

That may have been my last stocking stuffer! 

Although I am always happy to receive train items, good old St. Nick put a giant Crackle bar in my stocking.  Not trains but a very close second (the future mrs. did just fine by me).

A big bag of coal that I can re-gift to my Live Steam friends

"hey Brian, I've got an extra Christmas stocking around.  Can I send it to Maine to get it filled?  Bob"

 

Tell you what Bob, you send it up here and we will come up with something Maine related. Hope you like it even if it growls. 

Brian:  LOL!  I live in western PA.  Got plenty of bears (growlers) and pine cones, turkeys (complete with stinky poop), squirrels, deer (complete with nugget poop), so, unless you've got a small moose, I guess I've got all I need.  Thanks - Bob

Brian~

I asked my kids for some brass knobs for my new train work cabinet.

I saw them on e-bay.

So this is completely shameless promotion, but I feel it fits here. 

 

We're offering our D-145 Lionel dealer mural, and exclusive Angela Trotta Thomas print, and a custom LCCA billboard with the D-145 on one side and Angela's print on the other side. All of this plus free shipping for $99 for our small poster which measures a foot tall and four feet wide. 

 

Best part of all of this....... IT WILL FIT IN AND FILL A TRADITIONAL STOCKING!

Hi Brian

We have always had stockings. 47 years of marriage. We used the traditional way with oranges, apples, nuts ect. But, some of the most desired gifts just had little notes down in the bottom of all that stuff. The notes gave directions to the hidden gifts. Use to drive the kids nuts because we never put the stocking out until they went to bed.

Had a lot of fun fooling with them like that. Try it with your wife.

As for mine, I'm happy with anything actually. Glad there is a coal shortage.

Bill:  Thanks for posting.  I remembered that I have a bunch of these ------ somewhere.  Think I'll have to perform a search this week.  Bob

A bundle of $100 dollar bills would be a big help.

We sure have a lot of these.

 

"small moose, I guess I've got all I need." They are cute and cuddly when they are small, but they do get rather big (like 1,200 lbs.) Our good friend Pierre was 1,300 lbs. He is pictured below.

 

 

Here’s a new approach to an old Tradition…



Happy Holidays..Everyone

I'd like some coal or my MTH Imperial big boy. I lost some out of the tender when I dropped it on the floor several weeks ago

Spence,

   Can't do it. Obama shut down all the Coal mines!  OOPs

Brian,

   An original Lionel PRR Tuscan bumper, Fire Car with the swivel Fireman would be a real nice stocking stuffer!

A Butane Soldering Iron. It's got a pocket clip and a built-in rotary flint. There's no cord to get in the way. It heats up in under a minute and it fits nicely in standard solder spool so it won't tip over. I use and abuse mine and it keeps coming back for more. This would be a great stocking stuffer for any Forum member who doesn't already have one.

The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition makes a great stocking stuffer!

 

You can get it here!

 

 

I am always happy when Santa puts $$$$$$ in my stocking!

I am always happy when Santa puts $$$$$$ in my stocking!

 

So you can buy more 21" passenger cars. 

Hi Brian,

 

      Dina noticed i put up a 32 inch stocking, she asked why such a large stocking. I said for a stocking stuffer i want this ( see first picture below ) instead i got this ( see second picture )

Spence:  Here is the item # for the 'Bay.  

These end in about an hour from now (9:30 AM EST)  but I'm pretty sure they will get relisted.  Bob

I'll go easy on Santa this year 

That size stocking is sorta what I had in mind for folks, when I compiled my latest STOCKING STUFFERS EDITION for-sale thread a few days ago!   

 

But a regular size stocking will do just fine for some of the items listed.

For years my 32" stocking (green fringe) was the big dog....kids came along and now I've been de-throned by these 42" monsters. Keeping fingers crossed...

 

 

Bob S; Thank you. I just bought them.

A stocking full of Arttista figures would be good...at about a $2,000. cost.

That's a tough question Brian.  I think I have a stocking big enough for about 5 or 6 1/48 scale die-cast Army vehicles for my new Camp Crockett.  Oh, of course Lady and Tex can't be left out.........train shaped doggie treats.

 

Steve, Lady and Tex

"People who need people are the happiest people in the world!"....

 

I'd love a marching band, some GI's, passengers for my PRR, two football teams, (I'd build a field around them) and etc., etc. ......

it doesn't matter what goes in the stocking as long as its a big enough stocking to hold all your stuff!!!

She is a keeper. She saved you from yourself!

Alex, it is a surprise. Don't spoil her fun.

 

# 1 on Alex's Christmas List:

 

This is probably the only group of people who would actually like to get coal in their Christmas stocking!   But I digress…..

 

What I'd like in my stocking is some large extra storage space!  Moving stuff around while rebuilding the layout is like working in a phone booth.

I made list of Arttista figure sets for various vignettes I have planned for my new layout.
