ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
#1 is the "most German" looking one. It has no English on it, has "European" flourishes and most importantly, has the wheat sheaves, which is reminiscent of the obverse of old German Pfennig coins (DM -- pre Euro)
Oh, and we have been wearing over sweaters/coats for a Month. Your are a lucky guy!

On the N scale stuff Kusojiji posted, the middle "steamer" is from the KATO Pocket line. They have various versions of it including a Christmas themed one. In case you N-scale guys want a generic Christmas train to run around your Christmas trees.
They're inexpensive (though double the Japan price)
This is the latest Christmas themed one. The same basic train in the pocket line is also available in a few other non-Christmas editions.

They are all good. For some reason I like the first one the most.

In ocean wastes no poppies blow,
No crosses stand in ordered row,
There young hearts sleep… beneath the wave…
The spirited, the good, the brave,
But stars a constant vigil keep,
For them who lie beneath the deep.
‘Tis true you cannot kneel in prayer
On certain spot and think. “He’s there.”
But you can to the ocean go…
See whitecaps marching row on row;
Know one for him will always ride…
In and out… with every tide.
And when your span of life is passed,
He’ll meet you at the “Captain’s Mast.”
And they who mourn on distant shore
For sailors who’ll come home no more,
Can dry their tears and pray for these
Who rest beneath the heaving seas…
For stars that shine and winds that blow
And whitecaps marching row on row.
And they can never lonely be
For when they lived… they chose the sea.

There young hearts sleep… beneath the wave…

Good Morning All!
39F @ 91% and dark.
Ran outa sleep bout 1/2 hour ago so I got caught up on this site.
Simple one this morning: Our Sirius bill was $40 .. $40? What? So Maria called them and groveled. Got back to the $12.66/Month for our 2 units. Come to find out, you apparently need to call them once a year and complain. She was told that by the Sirius dude/dudette. Single radio is $6.33/Month. So on the USMC Birthday, that is her 'remember' poke to do that.
Don't know what Ima doing today. Gained 5Lbs so something...

In Florida? Boy. Although I do remember 35F in JaxPort. Containers had ice on them and those big container grabbers had problems with separating them. No problem with the roads though...
