In one of those miracles of Christmas, a Model A from Pennsylvania with a poem from Leah and a Standard Gauge Commodore Vanderbilt made it to the family room of a home on the left coast.

Merry Christmas you hobos.

Merry Christmas! The Dutch keg must still be in the snow-chilled pail in the pantry. What time should I check and see if there's any left? The turkey is skin-drying after being dredged from the brine. Gravlax and raw oysters are ready. D and I get the day to ourselves! (Jon, unbelievable gift by the way.) Here's Genghis in his moment of glory.

Jon, we're at our Christmas day tradition. The keg is in the snow, our faces angled at the sun, beer to our lips. Does it get any better?

We're blessed, indeed Brother! Cheers!

Five flannel shirts
Four big mud tires

It doesn't get any better, Tramp. Residents of the left coast family room have made demands for better transportation infrastructure, so government is responding. Another photo later.

There is something about a floor layout. I have not had one since I was eight. Love to lie on the rug and watch the train go by.

Hope hobos everywhere have scored a meal ticket, warm blankets, and a secure camp.

Jon, what's the beer count?

Hev, what's the Morgan count?


San, a floor layout does something to ya. About to span the house with ours. Well, the downstairs. D gave me four (4) [1,1,1,1] boxcars from Atlas that are arriving soon. That's FOUR!

Pete, what's the water count? Lovely shot of you on tractor (unusual hat).

Tramp, I got a nice full sail and I'm keeping an even keel. I've got a workday at the hanger tomorrow, but a fun one for sure. I'll be ordering a thousand dollars worth of track from Bob and sending Mort a thousand down on the UP 4-8-4.
What Atlas cars are coming? Any hints?

Jon, see if you can guess. Two boxcars, two reefers. Obviously steam era. The A-hobo masterpiece is breathtaking. It really is a WOW.

San, more shots of the floor layout, please. Standard gauge is really nice, isn't it?
