Mine:

1. No more Woodland Scenic Foam Roadbed.
2. Use Peco Code 55.  Anyone need any unused Atlas Code 55 turnouts?
3. Stop bashing undelivered products.
4. Start enjoying the hobby more...

I will attach the Northhill module before summer (to be broken by end of summer !!!)
I will not model any more CN (to be broken by May)
I will finish one consist before starting another (to be broken within the month)
I will convert to DCC (already broken)
I will be more WM freindly and not rub "Kitty" in Lee's face (oh come on Puddy, let's be serious...)
I will be nice to Canadian National modelers (ok; that's it - you're not taking this seriously at all !!!!!)

I will keep trying to be a better modeler by learning from Railwire members........ (not breaking this one)
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Yeah! I need a bunch of LH 5s or 7s if you're willing to wheel and deal.

1. Finish the layout rooms drywall and heat
2. To push my skills in scenery and trackwork
3. To continue my weathering.
4. Continue to prove that Atlas 55 follows RP standards and others do not, yet we choose to accept the ones that do not and are substandard, because its easier.
I WANNA SEE THE BOAT MOVIE!

Yes... I'm in N... Also HO and 1:1

Start and finish a project in the same calendar year. (perhaps that enginehouse I started two years ago....)
Finish a project from the previous calendar year.

1 I will finish my layout before I die, either solo or with group help.                                                     2 I will stop purchasing so much model railroad equipment that I may never use.                                   3 I will try to have Fun in this hobby. Honestly I really will.                                                                Nate Goodman (Nato).

I'm with Lucas on this one, but not until the basement gets finished.

In 2009, a more realistic goal for me is to continue collecting model trains!
My next goal is to become a 1:1 engineer, or at least begin the training for such on the MDDE.
No farms, no food. Support your local farmer's market!
