What are you buying this Month?

[AirbrushNo5]

I got this from Amazon for $30/$22.40 all in…
I was looking for a copy for a while at something less than crazy money
It was listed as used / good condition, but I believe it is new…
Very nice pictures

Okay, last thing for this month I think - just ordered 6 Peco PL11 Side/Surface Mounted Point Motors.

 

[wombat457]

Oh and one other thing - if these Peco Side Surface thingamebobs don't work - it's ALL @Smudge617 fault, with (no doubt) some backing and prompting from a certain @migalyto

Of course if they don't work - could just be me too

Bought some more track for the layout to expand it a bit more. Also bought my first Railbox boxcar. Wanted to get one since I first learned about them and saw them. Now I want to get more

To tell the truth I am a fan of Railbox, as well. And I hope to get more. Glenn

As long as you remember

The green wire is the return.

You'll probably have to add a 2mm piece of styrene under it to get the right height For the bar.

And you have ordered the N scale ones or your buggered.

This is a follow up to my post three weeks ago about the Downtown Deco kits I received;
The first kit for the "bad side of town was the Boobie Hatch. Working with plaster has been a pleasant surprise.

The yellow paper sign is a place holder for size and color. I printed the sign on acetate and need to figure out some small LED lighting to back light the sign.

 

[MOWboss]

The Boobie Hatch, Fat Lou's Liquor and the Social Club will for the nucleus for this part of town.

 

[MOWboss]

the NO PLACE social club;

After some thought I'm going to place the awning over the second floor (rather than the first). I placed some useless figures on the second floor hoping that I could back light them and make a nice silhouette. Still a work in progress.

This part of town needs a research center;

 

[MOWboss]

What this part of town needs is a good smoke shop. This and photos are preliminary studies for weathering, additions (downspouts), people placements, vehicles, etc...

I have one more structure similar to this one. It's going to be a Tanning and Tattoo parlor. I'm stuck on a name. I want the name to be
something... T & T.... Brunos T & T kind of resonates and I'm also toying with Olives (Popeyes GF) T & T. This part of town is too far from the water so a nautical name isn't a consideration.

Thanks @Smudge617 as for which ones I ordered, I don't know - all the description said was "multi-scale" ?? I took it from that that it was a "one size fits all" sort of thing.

Glenn, I don't think one will be enough.

 

[wombat457]

Okay, I lied ....... considering my track issues and not being too sure what engines I have are which system, DC or DCC - I bought myself a small DC Kato F7 to use as a test engine for my track work.

Once it has done it's job, it'll get converted to DCC

The PL11 is for O, HO and N, I was trying to pull your leg, sorry

 

[wombat457]

@Smudge617 oops, I wasn't aware of that mate, thought there actually was one for HO another for N and so on. Just goes to show how much I don't know when it comes to some things in this hobby

By the way - no need to be sorry - my ignorance you know

At least you know it’s a Kato. It will run like a Swiss Watch!

And is why I much prefer to buy Kato engines

 

[westtexjohn]

My staging level and helix are code 100 track with Peco electro-frog turnouts using Tenshodo electro magnetic switch motors.
Main and upper level layout is ME, code 83 with Walthers/Shinohara turnouts operated by servo motors.
So I just ordered 3 more of these servo controllers.

The Kato F7 this morning - darn I like them there F7's

So don't I, all those newer models with squared off noses just don't do anything for me.
