    I was disappointed in the painting along with the packaging. The artwork colors looked spot on but the painted cars don’t match it. Should have 2 different color grays, one dark gray for the roof and eagle gray for the sides.

    What I am really waiting for are the pre-orders of the Kato Amtrak 50th Anniversary locomotives to come in, I ordered all of them with ESU LokSound decoders installed. I also pre ordered several Scale Trains Rivet counter locomotives as well.

    I placed those orders a long time ago.
    I figure the loss of all the IM locomotives, I am still -400 on that and that is downsized enough

    Just ordered a two pack of Tomytec forklifts from MWMRR. They look really nice and I want to use one of them for my Farmer's Coop and the other for my oil well supply company. I don't have any Tomytec products so I'm hoping these fit my scale well, I've heard some Japanese N scale products are a slightly different scale? These are the larger industrial type so I think they should be fine. I also purchased a Micro-trains 40' New Haven boxcar from a member here off the TrainBoard Swap Meet. I really like these because they have the 6' door and are really nice to use in grain service on my earlier IC era. The forklifts are for my more modern BNSF era.

    A lot (but not all) of Japanese items are 1/150. I’m in Japan but model American stuff-I’ve got Kato container handling equipment and Tomytec and Kato cars mixed right in with American (Atlas, River Point Station) and European (Busch, Viking) manufacturers’ cars. Can’t tell a difference -especially not from normal viewing distance

    Finally found an Atlas Rail America GP-38. I began lettering it for the local road: Columbia Gorge Western. Rail Graphics made the decals several years ago. GP-38.jpg

    My depression over not purchasing - Atlas Gold S-4 ATSF and Gold S-4 SP locomotives. I missed these completely, was distracted by family health issues. Anyone know where these might be found?

    The gold ones have not been released yet. Atlas only had a partial shipment and they were the DC versions. The decoder equipped/sounds versions have not even left China yet apparently. So you can still likely get these when they eventually get produced/delivered.

    Well I got my GS-4's today. They are the non-sound DCC versions, who makes that decoder? I have a fear it is Digitrax.
