What did Santa leave under your tree?🎅🏻 🚂

Mason got a LionChief UP A5 and matching UP Wi-Fi camera caboose from Father Christmas.

Hope everyone got what they wanted on their Christmas list.

Merry Christmas 

Nick & Mason

My favorite from my wife. 

other then that, some clothes and socks and whatnot 

Who can tell?  I’ll the only one up... and it’s 9:15!

Several bags of coal!  Given the way I've been running my steam engines this year this was the best gift ever!  

Santa brought my son a 681 & 2671 tender this year. Even managed to find them with original boxes and inserts. Hot Chocolate car and PE Box Car with Hero Boy too.

"one" of my daughters gave me this  and it Worked Perfect this morning...

The coffee cup..

Merry Christmas! I’ve been looking to get these two gems for awhile now. Fun projects ahead!

So cool Pete!...even came with a whistle?.....is that for effect, or to blow for a time out?....😂😂😂........Pat

So far, I received a nice score of some Menards rolling stock, along with 6 Budweiser box trucks that came with.

I got a Railking Scale Conrail Dash-8, a Premier CSX auto carrier, a Premier Grand Trunk auto carrier, and a Premier The Rock gondola with coils. Got to play with them last week at my son's house in Florida. Now they're sitting at UPS and they'll be delivered to my house in Ohio Friday. I was amazed that the big auto carriers negotiated my son's O36 Fastrack loop (Sure, there's a lot of overhang, but I had always admired these cars. At home it might be better as I have O42).

This is Dual motor in each with TMCC by K-line 

Nice haul!

Got a couple train related things.

OK guys this is something a little different. I got an HO subway set for my side HO project. I have a Menards building on the way. 
 I have to work tonight So I’ll be putting people in my subway cars in my office   

I got a LionChief Universal remote and a MTH WIU.

Something that isn't here yet.....

It's not a train, but it's still going to be a great addition to the living room----I mean, train room, wall.

To go with my Legacy NKP 587:

Santa sub-contracted my delivery to FedEx who has informed me that my 12 lbs. box of stuff from N. Lima Train Works arrives tomorrow.  Photos to follow.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Santa gave me a Lionel 1933283 BNSF ES44AC #6438 non powered engine that I put on a powered BNSF Bluetooth chassis.  The job was difficult because I had to use the powered walkway with the ditch lights, and screw the #6438 body shell to the powered walkway. The number board and cab lights switched nicely.

Merry Christmas,  John Rowlen

Lionel boxcar with sound and reefer with sound.

Some of you know that I feel blessed and honored that I was inspired to enlist in the U.S. Air Force when I was 18.  I am very proud of my 6 years of active duty.  You might not know that I am a sentimental and nostalgic guy.

How about dual US Army GP 40s?

My loving wife purchased a “Language of the Hobos “ quilt book about 10 years ago and the project was dormant since then until this morning! She totally kept this a surprise!

In addition I got an Moon Landing and Woody Woodpecker box cars, a Menards Jack’s Dog Food building with a lighted Mustang and a Kalmbach Railroads Map publication! My daughter got me the Moon Landing car and graciously held the quilt for the photo!

Merry Christmas to all!

Nothing train related got all the trains i need LOL!!!

A MTH operating car full of Maryland Crabs; a really nice Woodland Scenics building and a bag of sculptamold.  Life was good today.

Pat, Good one!! The whistle was a total surprise from the fine folks at TW. I had to hide that whistle fast before my boys could unleash that thing on my wife’s ears over the next week and half before school starts back up. 

Ol’ St Nick was pretty good to us this year. Received a 2023 U.P. Alco with its original box and cartons, a 204 Santa Fe Alco, a New Haven 6464 boxcar, some star cars for the layout, and a Lionel crossing signal. 

wasted no time in getting them up on the layout! Was fun butchering the isolated track sections to work with my fast track to tubular track sections. Signals are kinda in a weird spot, but had no where else for em...

Not to shabby! Hope everyone had a great day with family.

The train under my tree.  Three of the vehicles are original Marx.  Obviously, someone has substituted a different flag at some point

Set is in great shape:  little run time (judging by the wheels) and well taken care of.  Some of the troops/accessories are missing, of course, but I can replace them.

I got the same book and if you like Santa Fe then you will enjoy it. Also, 2-10-4 #5000 is still kicking here in Texas. 

A T-shirt, an aluminum sign, a Lionel Postwar Celebration series 624 NW2.  Ok, I cheated. The engine I purchased myself a few weeks back, opened it up for the first time today. Got to have trains, it just wouldn't feel like Christmas.

My daughter gave me some nice Menard’s lighted trucks and the wiring pack.  Going to add them to the layout tomorrow.

Santa left me Menard’s York Hotel.  I’ve wanted  this ever since it came out.  My wife and I stay in the Yorktown Hotel when we go to the show.  Looking forward the the reopening, hopefully in 2020.  

Santa was good to you guys, you all got some nice stuff!!  Enjoy them. 

We had conspired with Santa several weeks ago for our Christmas gift!!  We will be traveling, watching Philadelphia Flyers hockey on their west coast trip starting this weekend. San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles (on New Years Eve), Las Vegas and then Phoenix, where we will be joined by my son and grandson for the game and spend the weekend with my Mom. 

As for trains, the Santas at JusTrains are sending me my Lionel UP excursion two car add on set next week!

A Blessed and Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone in the OGR Universe!  I hope you’re all enjoying the Season!

A wonderful new MTH Christmas set

I think it was the "Grinch" not Santa that stopped at our house. I put the turkey in the oven for my wife at about 6:30am,(too early in the morning),and I think I pulled a muscle in my back. Drove me crazy with pain all day and night. The wife's been cooking for 2 days and her artificial knee has been driving her to the point of tears and fears it's going to have to be replaced,again.

But the meal was great,the only thing that was tough was restraining myself from over eating. No trains. The wife says I have plenty of those and of course,the women are never wrong. Remember the old saying fellows,"Women have no faults,men have only two:everything they say and everything they do".

As always,

Al Hummel

A beautiful little PS3 b6 switcher and a box full of trees/assorted scenery and detailing stuff.  God, I love my wife!
