I’m buying a second booster for my DCC system. I found out the hard way that having a number old tech (blue box) locomotives that draw a lot of current is overloading one of my power districts. Setting the trip current higher on that power district’s breaker will work for now, but I wanna make sure I have the capacity I need for operating sessions.

Drunk buy last night. Rapido Lion in OO scale. 50% off with sound. This'll be my first sound loco. It'll be a while for it to arrive as they have to go dig it out of their warehouse. Hopefully not too long.
Reviews were all very good. No room for a stay alive where the decoder is located (tender), but I think I've figured out how to get into that copper dome part.
Also remembered to get some firemen to go with it.
not exactly buing this month, but did a preorder this month
Ordered a "bandit" from Rapido. Why? Because i like the Paint scheme and the Nickname
And here i will defenitly try some heavy weathering on it.
because i think a bandit has to be dirty!

I was lucky to find one of these. It is a Microace EF13-31 convex electric loco. Built during the war with the convex shape to save on metal. They used concrete for ballast and had armored crew cabin. This model was advertised without a delivery schedule, then it suddenly popped out in the middle of May. It was sold out within 2 weeks and I've been searching since. Took a chance and did another wide area search and found it.
