I would call or email the vendor. Last year I waited for over a month for a LL Cover-All Paint factory. Finally contacted them, and was told they could no longer get the item, so I asked if they would mind refunding my money - which they had been sitting on for over a month!:angry:FWIW contact 'em.
I once built the Passamaquoddy light house from the Disney movie Pete's Dragon. That was fun. Even painted up some little people to resemble Norah and Pete painting it.
I acquired all of the pieces (except a coach/baggage car) to build the Amtrak Heritage set seen leaving Chicago in 2011. For now, I'm using a coach as the center car instead of the coach/baggage: I also picked up several of Kato's new F40s in Metra livery: Very excited :teeth: Now all I need is for Kato to make the F40 in Amtrak phase V so I can finish off my Amtrak Hiawatha set.
Not purchases but trade ins. They count right ? I am mainly a CSX modeler and only had 2 UP (CW44-9/Gevo) and 1 NS (SD60M) to go with my 30 some CSX units. Recently traded some of those for 3 NS units, a Kato SD-40 High Hood, and 2 Atlas units, a C40-8W and C40-8. You can say I've gone to the dark side.
Gosh, I've been on a bit of a spree of late. Latest was about two hours ago...bought 5 RC autoracks from a buddy who bought a lot of 25. Needed 'em like I need another hole in my head, but they were cheap. Jeez, I sound like my ex-wife...someone please just put me out of my misery. lol
Just scored this little beauty, Wabash E8 # 1006 along with her sister #1003: Love the colour scheme; they'll look great heading up the Wabash Cannonball! Disregard image below - it was an OOPS...
Purchased but not obtained yet an A/B set of the Kato Yellow Bonnet F7s. Anyone get theirs yet? Said late Feb delivery. I guess they're behind schedule.
I was in India for a month for work, so I had a lot waiting for me when I got home: From a fellow trainboarder: CNW EMD GP35 UP EMD GP7 UP EMD GP20 UP EMD SD7 SP EMD GP20 SP EMD SD9 Missouri Pacific EMD GP7
From the Train shop this week: CNW Dynamic Duo GE Dash 9-44CW CB&Q EMD E5A Kato California Zephyr (too long for the dresser) and Tomix Shinkansen 300
FVM 50 ft DD FMC boxcars. 2 SP, 1CV. Most of the fine printing is great, but "heavy". Would be much better if real doors. Joe D
Just scored this beautiful Pennsy K4s 4-6-2 Pacific to be remotored, re-tendered and DCC/Sound equipped. Wish me luck!
Cowboys on horseback for my N scale Hollywood backlot false front western town. Haven't arrived yet from eBay vendor. I "bought it now" when I checked my stock of N animal figures and noticed all my horses were Bachmann- all in a more or less trotting pose. None appropriate to be tied at hitching rail or moseying through town... I am going to have to order some thin wood sheet and N scale 2x4s and 2x6s, don't have enough to finish all the false front buildings I am constructing, with scaffolding and framing modeled on the back side. No local hobby shop that carries or will order anything like this and no way to get to out-of-town shop anytime soon.
