Thinking of asking Santa for a static grass applicator. Any suggestions on which one to get?

Hi Scott,
I built a "Grassinator" years ago for about $20 in parts. It was very easy and works great. Here are some URL's if you are so inclined:

http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/11/t/138761.aspx the third post down in this forum has extensive information on building a grass applicator

At any rate, they are really easy to build and only cost a quarter of what you pay for a "store bought" unit.
Cheers,
C.
