Titan Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well the beautiful model I got for last Christmas.... I've still got her! So this is a very special day, where I celebrate the anniversary of one of the most special events that ever happened - that's right, the day we first met! I think there was also some bloke born in a stable somewhere but lets get things in perspective... So what did you get? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Woken up at 0513, by my children, who had already found and consumed enough chocolate to fuel a rocket to the moon by that time. They are still going strong; swmbo and myself are flagging! So, Titan, you now know what the future holds ...... Merry Christmas! Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2016 All together now Four transit vans Three Ladybird books Two pairs of Boxers And a Bachmann XP64..... Woo hoo good old Santa! And a lovely Xmas hug from Mrs B, plus a fantastic framed historic railway map of Abbotswood Junctions from Pierre Le Brun, Pat and Plato... Transit vans in stock for those Oxford car flats - that's two wagon loads to hand ready and waiting. Ladybird books of Red Tape, The Meeting and The cat - plus The Famous 5 do Brexit hee hee - apparently Timmy would not have been so keen to vote for Brexit if he had fully appreciated the variety of Saussicons available on the Continent...sounds like our Captain K should have given him a talking to! Turkey in and cooking, a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape will be breathing shortly, guests arriving around 1....a great day in prospect. But think I shall be robbing a sound chip from another 47 to go in D1733 later.... Happy Christmas all.... Phil Thanks very much one and all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Nothing yet Me and Mrs SM42 eschewed the traditional present opening yesterday (we're like the royal family here, you know, do all that on Christmas Eve don't you know) on account of a night shift and have postsponed till today sometime. Probably the usual round of chocolate, biscuits and beer. ( three of the major food groups and I don't keep a body looking this good without them) but there are some interesting looking shapes under that tree. If I get chance and am sober enough later I will report back. Wesolych swiat, Merry Christmas all. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2016 Three tins of French soap Two bars of choc'late And a flame re-ed Clio Estate. The soap is from Sherry's daughter, and may be a hint. The choc will be gone soon, and the car is still to be delivered in France. Not sure they sell that model in the UK.

Mark Dickerson Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 No Peckett. [No Zeppelin either, sadly, but more than enough other nice things.] One will appear on preorder, and it just missed the post. At least the supplier got enough models, so I'm lucky. (It's only really annoying in that I was going to try out its vaunted running quality on That set of points before their imminent replacement, but their time has come.)

RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2016 An ACME pack of three FS inter city coachehs in HO, very nice it is too. An honorable mention to C&M models who shipped immediately so I got it the day after ordering, not bad for an order less than a week until Christmas.

royaloak Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 My dear lady gave me a Proxxon pantograph engraver, which I can't wait to play with..... Why do you want to engrave a pantograph? Nobody will be able to read it! Yes I do know what you mean, and that is a very nice present, enjoy. Myself- I got a banger blue Thumper and a couple of other models all ex-Warley. plus a Tornado and a P2 trainset (I bought the Tornado one by accident thinking it was the P2), plus the usual clothes, slippers,fancy beers etc My first train set for about 35 years!
