Santa is delivering a pair of KCS ES44AC Lionel Legacy diesel locomotives to add to the fleet...
Those are good looking models. I've never gotten a nice roster shot of a KCS ES44AC but did catch a newly painted SD70 ACe:

One is the "Lady Belle" livery, which is the picture above, and the other is "nude" livery, which is all gray with "KCS" under the cab window.
I have about 20 or so SD70, Dash 8/9, GP-60, and SD40/45... But all in the SP "blood nose" livery. All are Lionel and Atlas O with TMCC/Legacy.

This Christmas, my dad gave me an O gauge train set that he himself restored.
Model trains are his hobby. He wrote me a really touching letter explaining that my train set is about as close to an exact replica of the train set that he grew up with as a boy 60 years ago. Some of the cars are even 60ish years in age that he restored. The locomotive runs with the liquid smoke. He even hand built and stained a really nice wooden case for me to store it in.
Also in the letter he explained to me that this is the heirloom that he wanted to pass down to me and my 2 brothers (they both received one too).
It was really touching. It choked me up pretty bad. I mean that was years of preparation to put all those together. I became a model train lover today.
