Bunker Talk: Pardon Me Boy, Is That the Santa Cho Cho?

Santa's train.

Dollar General had these for a sale a while back.

The back.

Cute peppermint motif on the front of the boiler. The wind up motor key is rather obvious.

Not a bad small locomotive. With some work and new wheels it could almost be prototypical.

Not going to do that but still it is an option.

I was at an model exhibition in Germany thisweekend, and it looks like the prices are getting higher on even second hand model railways items. And it doesn't help that the Norwegian currency is bad either...; March 4, 2025 at 7:02 AM
