Hanukkah is coming up in 5 days and rumor has it that I will be getting a Norfolk Southern GE ES44AC locomotive to complete the last loop of the grand kids layout. I thought this would end up out of my reach but Hanukkah Harry must have read my letters and posts on the internet. The only other thing I still need to complete this effort is the track which I can pick up slowly using my bottle and can return money.
