On a slippery slope there Richard just hope you never find this website https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/rail/ oops
Just recieved a 6 pack of ConCor Rio Grande autoracks. Just gotta swap trucks and couplers at some point!
Took a shot at, and got: Micro Trains runner pack of 4 Santa Fe tank cars. Looking at a couple of possible structures as well.
I did a long time ago... This is what makes signing up for amazon up so dangerous... So I ordered Friday the 26th... Dominic Torreto would be proud.
This weekend I bought 15-20 old MT (labels still say Kadee) cars at an estate sale: $5 with the box, $2 without, some N scale buildings and tressels...and a bunch of Fn3 trains: Bachmann Shay and Heisler (I've wanted a heisler for so very long), flat cars, box cars, log cars. $600 for everything. Very happy me!
Let us know if you ever get that Decoder in... I've unfortunately had my ATSF just sitting in the yard this past year. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Kevin, there’s a gentleman here who is modeling the civil war in n scale, and he’s managed to squeeze a decoder into one of those. Should be worth a look.
Kato 10-199 TGV add on set (old orange train) Kato/Faller suburban train station Kato viaduct train station Soon. Arrive a Tomix track cleaning car. And I think that’s it for this week.
I had to put a decoder into the Overton baggage car for this locomotive. I suppose you could dedicate a box car to follow right behind your tender and hide one in there. Or you could modify the fuel load on the tender and stack it real full to hide a decoder like on this one.
These modules I’m building are starting to get outfitted nicely. Found 4 passenger cars for my old west module and a troop sleeper for my WWII airbase module today. Tuesday I found a few bombers and fighters. Can’t find the B-17 I want though.
Daron Models... formerly Model Power Postage Stamp Planes... has several B17 Flying Fortress models in 1:155 scale AND B24 Liberators in 1:163 scale. Only problem is that they are 'in-flight' models on a stand without landing gear. Sent from my SM-J737T using Tapatalk
Noticed this and just HAD to post !!! The ONLY surviving B-17G was here in Joliet last month. Not sure why, maybe the NASCAR race, an airshow, maintenance layover, etc. I had seen it twice before at Miramar, CA airshows. I knew what it was by the sound and the silhouette as it flew over the neighborhood three times. It's a sound you just don't forget, especially at start-up !!! Being a USN aircraft mechanic for 8 yrs ('90-'98) makes me appreciate such things.
Just recieved a bunch of Trainworx DRGW orange flat and slope top snowplows. Just need to see which version went on which Locomotives! The slow start to some minor detailing of my many Rio Grande Locomotives!
I went to Hobby Lobby and bought two pieces of balsa wood to scratch build a sawmill for module 08. Joe
