What are you buying this Month?

[Kusojiji]

Yup and it runs very well. The two motor housings are hinged at the body so it is a bit strange. Also, the side rods... Gotta love the side rods! That's why I love steamers.

I bought some signal heads for my tunnel protection signals. I already had everything wired up, just had to install the signal heads and connect them up.

Bought a Keikyuu DEHA 230 4 car set, used. In pristine condition like it never was run. None of the options were installed.

Alongside my DEHA 268 2 car set.

Keikyuu railway is a private company that runs in my area. They are standard gauge and run very quickly. In my search, I ran into this video showing the evolution of the trains on this line. I will be picking up the Daishi Type 1 kit in brass next month. Pretty neat.

Picked up this brass kit of a street trolley and the matching power bogie.

The larger bogie is for my crane motor car that is currently in production.

Ordered a bit early, but when you see something like this you must rescue it. Didn't have a chance to pre-order one with the move last year, but I was able to snag this at MMRR.
Rapido Greenbrier 72' IL 7780 Reefer (w/ Sound) Cyro-Trans (CRYX) 5178 "Los Angeles". Looks and sounds great. Can't wait to run it for real.

Added this guy to round things out. Atlas Master Gunderson 7538 High Cube Double Door Box Car.

Couldn't help myself last night. Pushed the I want button. Came in today.

Microace DEKI 202. It has a snow plow, so must be good.

That's a good looking kit, that one.

I ended up pre-ordering a 6 pack of the Rapido Cryo-Trans and a Lineage reefer. After almost a year and a half wait they are finally here.

Hoping a second run is announced soon, so I can add more.

 

[Kusojiji]

Tomix HO type 3000 railcar. While researching a Tomix HO tram, the retailer showed me this model to compare how they ran and I liked this one better so I ended ordering it from that guy. I thought it was going to be a noisy runner, but it runs fine.

Plan is to detail the interior a bit since it is all green and then make the interior lighting. Current plan is to keep it DC, but it'll probably end up going DCC.

I received an email from Trainworld that my pre-ordered Rapido SW9 will be delivered Monday. Rapido has really been producing so solid quality.

Ordered this pair of Hornby Terriers.

R30123 K&ESR Terrier 150th Anniversary Pack - Era 2/3

R30123, K&ESR Terrier 150th Anniversary Pack - Era 2/3, Hornby, Train Packs, 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge, OO

I don't know why I like them so much, but I will be adding these to my current collection. Although I only have one actual Terrier (left), the other 3 are classes that were created in the likeness of the Terrier (two P class and an E1). The E1 is the Terrier on steroids.

I have another one on pre-order from Dapol. This one will have firebox flicker. I am planning on installing the firebox flicker and head/tail lamps to the two Hornbys when they arrive. Building up my pack of dogs!
