Santa left me the latest Hallmark train ornament to go with all the rest I have.
And the complete box set of the Sopranos! Bada-Bing!
LEssee…Sunday River’s “The Complete Westside Story” on DVD, Decent…N&W’s Steam Freights on DVD, bit like watching someone’s home movies…a whole kit of drawing drafting stuff, and a couple of WWII shooters for the Wii…
Lump of coal. Smells real good stuffed in the smokebox of the steamer I got last year 
Oh, and a compound miter saw that HoDePo was giving away.
Clothes. It is always clothes.
So I always buy myself something.
This year I bought a NOS Aristo 0-4-0 starter set on eBay for $75.

One of my nephews got me that too. Its a pretty nice N scale diecast dummy F3 in NYC lightning bolt. I have it hanging over my monitor right now. Other train stuff - Peter Jones’ “Practical Garden Railways” which I have looking forward to reading and the wife got me a pair of HLW Birneys thanks to a special deal through Team Large Scale

They’ll be undergoing some bashing/detailing to bring them up to snuff -

A plush shnauzer… don’t know why. A back scratcher (better than another all-in-none pocket toolkit, I guess) A couple shirts to get grease and mustard on. Some angelfish that died (I think they were just too small, I don’t have a whole lot of luck with them until they are about the size of a quarter) And a BUNCH of bills…
I got both Diddly and Squat! 
OK I better keep quiet … at least for now. But … never mind. 
Victor, don’t feel bad, I got diddy, squat AND bills!
I did better than Vic and Fred. In Zero gauge, I got two Alco C-425’s in SP&S livery, and proof that SP&S #800 and #801 are on order from Peterson Supply. They were supposed to be delivered in Nov, but he is running behind…
In Large Scale, from my kids, I got a USAT woodside reefer in Empire Builder Apples Livery, and another red GN Boxcar.
Sweet!
A cute teddy bear in a “Coke” shirt and a digital camera that doesn’t take half an hour to process the photo before you can take another.
Big honkin’ chainsaw. I think its a hint that the woods need thinning.

Some MoPac memorabilia that a true friend knows I like. A couple of railroad books. Wheels for some of my bench power tools to make them easier to drag around. Lots of consumables, that everyone know I like and some wonderful time off at home to enjoy life.
I gotta stay ahead of Brian. I’ll get a steam whistle for my chain saw! :lol:
Braved a snowstorm on Monday to pick this up

Made by Kiss in 1:22.5 scale. 
Looks like you were good to yourself, HJ.
Very Nice.

HJ,
Looks good!
Did you wipe the snow off or did you keep it protected from the elements?
