I am in GMT-7.
Merry Christmas!

Hoping for some train DVDs.

It is always high summer on my model railroad, but it carries the Christmas Spirit.  I added a dome lounge to the Billings Local!

About 75 years ago, what a joy it was to run my train around the Christmas tree.

I enjoy operation.  Give me a local to go to some town to switch 10 to 15 car and pick up the like amount.  That is what I enjoy today.  Back then we lived on a farm in NJ.  two days before Christmas I would go with my Dad to cut down a tree.  He would load it on top of the car and we would head for home.  Trees were always too tall and the top foot was cut off.  The tree was taken down about the end of January.  To day our tree is about 15 inches high.  I guess if I had G in stead of HO, I could haul the tree around.

when I was a child my father had a 4x6 n scale layout we set up for Christmas. it was far too elaborate to set up under a tree, and anyway we always bought our trees with the roots still on, and they sat in a tub of water in the living room until the ground thawed enough to plant them in the yard. that layout was where my first train ran, and we spent many hours running trains there every year.

another Christmas tradition was the trip Christmas morning to Connellsville to the various yards around town, in the 1970s there were 5 different railroads that came into town, and all of them would be shut down. there were 3 yards in town whee you could walk among the idlng locomotives.

merry Christmas everybody.

Merry Christmas to all!

And Santa has a weird sense of humor. He left a 3,000 piece puzzle that's actually two puzzles mixed together. One's a black GP7 and the other is a black 4-6-2. Aaaaaaarrrrggghh!!
