Santa will be in Antonito on Sat. 12-15-18 and Sun. 12-16-18.Bad News: Just like past years I get lump of coal according to Santa.

 Roger, you’ve been so good to us on TrainOrders I think Santa should reconsider his Christmas present to you.  A new drone perhaps!?!

Roger you have been a good boy making us all happy with your pictures, filming and drone work so I agree you deserve a present. Great pictures as always.

Roger, I think we all need to sit down with Santa and his elves and have a good talk about your committment to the Steam and Excursion board here on Trainorders and convince him to change his mind. Remember I am from the Chicago area originally and we have ways to convince people to change their minds. (wink wink)

Well, I certainly hope it's high grade coal!
Thanks for all your wonderful pics and vids  this past year.  Always enjoy them.

Isn't coal appropriate? When I was told Santa would bring me coal I used to say good thing I have plenty of hoppers.

Growing up in Southern California, my Mother threatened me with a lump of coal too.
"Wow, Really?"
I had read about coal but had never seen it.
Thanks for all that you share Roger, the news, the photos, and the humor.

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that Guido needs to talk to SANTA?

Maybe they did and they are giving him coal to keep the fires hot.

I know of a train master that
Santa gave a stocking of coal to on a Polar Express trip.

Donate the lump of coal to the Friends and take a tax deduction

That sounds like a smile story.

Over the years, I am sure Santa has made at least one trip to the hardware Elf's shops to pick up a furnace to give to Roger instead of a lump of Coal.  In order to take all of the lumps of Coal and turn them into diamonds. 
We can all see the results over the past many years that Roger has put all that Christmas coal to very good use.  In a way we could only dream, making may wonderful video's,  all us boys and girls can enjoy every week.   

Thank you Roger,
Merry Christmas.
