I'm kinda hoping for one of those wireless mini video camera systems. I want to see my finished layout from the cab of my 2056 :laugh:

What do you really want this year?

Hmm, don't think Santa will be too good to me this year, if he saw my eBay purchase history LOL

But since you asked, I want a LGB Rhatische Bahn GE 4/4 III in plain red livery.. Something that is notably absent from my collection.

If not, there are some other things I would like :)

Tisk, tisk, you should have searched (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/showthread.php?t=422) :p :D

Standard O by Lionel and Premier Line by MTH are true 1:48 O scale whereas Traditional by Lionel and RailKing by MTH are the "old fashioned" 1:43 O scale...

Ah OK.

A picture does really say alot :)

Do they make passenger coaches in Standard O as well? I would imagine they would look pretty good.

Yes they do, although I could not find any good pictures of them... Most on eBay seem to use the stock photo...

I like the old O 1/43 cause it matches my 1/43 diecast cars & trucks.

I think this makes sense--right?

I'm starting post like I know what I'm talking about :thumbsup:

LOL, that seems logical to me :)

I like the 1:48 because they are to scale, they are more detailed, and IMO they are worth the few extra bucks...
