What's Santa bringing?

[jhb171achill]

A well known person of this website told me that his new copy of "Rails Through North Kerry" had been "confiscated" in lieu of a reappearance on Christmas morning.

 

MY new copy of Joe Coleman's substantial new book on the railways of the Limerick area has similarly been "confiscated" by the Dept. of Domestic Matters, for the same purpose!

I to have had my prodigy advance2 "confiscated" by the War Office, until Christmas morning. how ever I still have the arrival of a 141 and 071 sound decoders to look forward to in the next few days. If only every month was as good. TDR

Apparently an Athearn SD40 is coming my way in Santa Fe.

 

Also contemplating treating myself to a Heljan Metro electric. Though not sure if I've behaved myself well enough this year to warrant one! http://www.hattons.co.uk/202955/Heljan_9007_Metropolitan_Bo_Bo_electric_11_George_Romney_in_London_Transport_maroon/StockDetail.aspx

 

Sweet though

Best not to declare purchases to the Domestic Authorities!

Hopefully 12 IRM Ballast Wagons in time for Santa.

Sadly this is one Christmas miricale that will not happen I'm afraid. We should have a more firm update in a week or so though.

If anyone is looking for a Heljan Beyer Garratt for Crimbo there might be one at Bray Wheelers this Sunday:cool:

Well, John, people can't do a lot better on the Book front than a copy of Barry's and your book - they've flown off my table at recent sales do's.

 

Personally, my copy of David Maidment's "Urie and Maunsell 4-6-0s" was taken for Christmas - a Christmas present made in Heaven for a Timer like me - cover to cover logs of fast runs with Lord Nelsons etc. And, of course, Richard Maunsell was a Dubliner, educated at the Royal School Armagh.

 

Personally, my Standard request for a pressie is TIME to read, model etc ……

 

Still, I feel blessed to be still here

 

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas, Leslie, and I hope the "H" vans are likewise flying off the shelves!

I know it's way past Christmas but as a traditional 'film' user I sold off all the digital camera stuff I bought last year, and didn't use, to fund a £400 railway spending spree over Christmas!
