How can you wait? I wouldn't be able to!  I am sure Andrew appreciates you waiting though.

It ain't easy, but its a tradition, he gets to open the engines. He's not back yet, and I have to leave for a business function for a couple of hours. We'll see if he waits for me!

| Nick |
I wouldn't if I was him.

Unlikely

All according if whether or not Mom has a say in the matter
I bet he waits. |
||||
| Nick |
If I was him, I'd take a hairdryer, heat the tape up, peel it away, have a look inside, and put the tape back down seeling it up.

He will probably be opening a Jensen 25 before I get the Fleischmann too

You've done this before
|
||||
| Nick |
It works great too.
What would be fun to do is open it that way, take the tractor out, and put something stupid in there. (I have done this before.)

I think Santa Claus might have been a bit angry with Nick in the past?
Know what you got for Christmas a week beforehand?
|

| Les |
Lets just hope you enjoy it together.

John wins.
He waited, and without coercement from Mum. 
He did, however, call me three times on the cell phone wanting to know when I'd be back. It looks great, absolutely pristine, not a scratch anywhere, never fired, but no box or instructions. 
Do Wilesco have pdf instruction files you can download somewhere? I'll look around now
Handrail pics tomorrow

There you go, I cant wait to see it. |

| Nick |
Did you check and see if the hairdryer had been moved. Don't let Andrew read that tip, it works too well.

Waiting for the sun to come out. We actually have a cloud in the sky. It must be lost

Bright and Sunny here! It's warming up too, it's only 9:30 am and it's 13 degrees F. It's supposed to get up to the 30's & 40's degrees F next week! The snow will be gone shortly.
I can't wait for the pictures of this one. |
