    The Mercedes is a bit old but if the price is right. I've got a 50cc scooter. I'ld jump on the Burgman 650 if it was legal.
    Best wishes.

    In the mail today was my Tomix JR Hokkaido Hamanasu Express train. I'm a fan of the older KiHa DMU trainsets, and I couldn't pass this up with the great color!

    This stray followed me home from my business trip last week. The wife says as long as I take care of it, then it can stay. :D

    Mercedes and the Smart had titles, all legit. The Burgman also has a title and it 100% legit as well. Last night I fixed the headlights, cheap Chinese LEDs do not play well with quality Japanese engineering. I also took off the saddle boxes… they were sketchy and the install was less than ideal. Now my scoot is safe to ride.

    The chopper’s title was not found before we loaded it up. She knows she has it, but was not able to find it. We are not worried about that she will get it for us. Good news is we got it started and it runs great. We just need to get the front tire back on the rim and we can ride it.

    I'm sure you took care of that end. But not mine. And the "Chopper" will soon be illegal in Paris and that idea growing.

    Those are the ones I used in front of my Denny’s on my Rte 66 modules. They work great, but they do like to stay folded so take them out early and let them relax before trying to glue them down.

    My buddy Andy is always looking for Pacific electric models on eBay, and he sent me a link to this mega lot of Miniatures By Eric shells, I came real close to pulling the trigger, but I could not justify it. I asked the seller about possibly splitting it up, and they informed me of more lots to come.

    I wound up buying two of these lots, the first one was four 1000’s, three 1451’s, plenty of decals and 16 brass poles! The second lot was a pair of Shapeways Baldwin Freight Motors, and my childhood dream of having an N Scale model of 1624 is all but here. I have an order in for six TomyTec chassis from Plaza Japan, I strongly recommend ordering directly from their site than through eBay. I was also able to track down one Bandai B Chassis #4 for the Freight Motor, which has been difficult since they have not been made since 2015.

    My current roster (built and waiting) is one 500, a 600 (Hollywood Car), five 1000’s, an 1100 (Built, 1124), a Portland 1200 (1252-1263), a 1445 and three 1451’s. I am seriously thinking about making one of the 1451’s into 00157, a line car that still exists at the Orange Empire Railroad Museum.

    I like that Special Edition Amtrak 50th Anniversary Car. Now I'm going to have to get an Amtrak diesel to go with it... this is getting expensive!

    I'm holding out for the Amtrak "Midnight Blue" paint scheme. That engine runs regularly around here-- and I've never caught it. The only way I may see one is if I buy the model...

    Well once started on new trains again, I am back buying again. Picked up a few Gold Version Atlas locomotives. I tried their locomotives with the NCE decoders, and I was 0 for 11 on them working, so I am trying with ESU to see if I have better luck.

    If I understand correctly, that is on the drawing boards now! Set for a July 2022 release! I am going to have to get one too
