Any gifts to show off out there that are for your model railroad or model railroad related?

This is what I got from my mother in-law and wife - my first airbrush. Also a car from my wife.

Two packs of flawed castings from Stoney Mountain Classic, an HO Scale Aurora Mystery Machine (Scooby Doo). I have one pack of the castings so far, the other pack and the Scooby Doo van are still in the mail.
 
Got the Schnabel car that I got last week.
My wife & I don't exchange gifts. We get what we want as long as it's not over $125.00.
It's hard to buy something for the spouse when she has everything & the same w/me.

That's pretty cool! I'm gonna look it up on the net. I have no idea what a Schnabel car is?
 
Not sure if I got anything for christmas thats train related. Been here at work since 6am and dont get home till nearly 11pm.

But I did get a new paasche talon airbrush last weekend from the father-in-law for christmas along with a new 3 gallong pancake compressor. I treated myself to a Athearn Genesis F45 NYSW 3636 and Atlas articulated autorack for my bday which was 2 weeks ago.

If you were there sat. we were at the same place probably about the same time. I left the train show about 11:30 & was at the Club House for about 45 mins. JayL was at that train show too selling stuff.
It's a shame all you guys that visit Florida at Different times don't let us Florida guys know ahead of time so we can meet someplace.
I met Jerome about 3 years ago in Franklin, NC while I was on vacation. He made the trip to us to spend a cpl. days.
I have visitors from all over the U.S., Puerto Rico & the Bahamas stop by at least once or twice a year.:D

Since I use so much illustration board, card stock, and paper to build buildings my wife got me a paper cutter. Something I really wanted.
