What are you buying this Month?

[KriegslokBR52]

Sure they have, and there is even a current production with all new electronics.

Yeah, this thing is not to scale. It definitely looks like a caricature. I'm sure our Big Boy friend would prefer a scaled locomotive.

Yeah, the tender looks especially "selectively compressed".

But if one wants detail those are out there too.

That's more like it... expensive. I've never seen one in 1:64 scale.

I just pulled the trigger on an NCE PH5 system! Also ordered a decoder, harness and LEDs to convert one of my blue box U-boats. I’ve also ordered a modern (switching) 12VDC power supply for my accessory bus.

Last week i went to Cabin Fever in Leesport, Pa. Found this Pennsylvania Railroad P70 standard coach for $3:

I i think it's Bethlehen Car Works kit and it's missing a bunch of stuff. I'll have to open it to also fix the celestory part of the roof.

 

[Colorado Midland Modeler]

I bought this Mantua factory can motor...

...Because the CM 22 (below) blew her motor the other day, so the new one is on the way.

My pre-order for ScaleTrains N scale tunnel motors arrived early this month. I sold a bunch of surplus items which paid for this order and a couple more coming late this month and in November.

You must really like tunnel motors

I ordered a couple of these this morning. The Amarillo Railroad Museum is selling these custom-ordered Agrium covered hopper cars from ScaleTrains. Too good to pass up on something a bit more unique. I'll post pics when they get here.

Well... I question that theory:

He's missing a paint scheme

 

[BigGRacing]

Great day at the Truro model railroad show this morning. Said hello to many from the Dartmouth and Truro clubs and bumped into my old shipmate who was having trouble carrying several new engines out….lol. I hauled in some custom Annapolis Valley boxcars, a double track bridge and a Rapido F9 B unit to match the A unit acquired last year. Campfire tonight and it will be another perfect day!

 

[Espeefan]

The last two sleepers for my 1941 City of San Francisco. They'll have to be re-lettered, but the train will finally be complete without stand-ins.

So it took a bit longer to arrive than I thought, but the hoppers arrived today! My first Scale Trains rolling stock and they are pretty nice.

I had placed an order with Yankee Dabbler over two weeks ago for a Scale Trains SD45X. After I placed the order, I realized the city on the delivery address wasn't correct, so I contacted YD to correct it. The guy I talked to seemed pretty pissed off at me for making that mistake and told me they wouldn't be able to find my package now to make the correction. I contacted UPS to make the delivery correction, but they could only change the delivery address to a UPS drop off store. I choose a CVS drugstore near me. Now, nobody knows where the package is. UPS says I need to contact the shipper. YD says I need to talk to UPS. The online UPS tracking shows a label was made and the package is waiting for pickup at the shipper. I filed a lost package claim with UPS.
If I don't get something solid tomorrow, I'll go to my credit card and have the payment withdrawn.
In the meantime, I found that Hiawatha Hobbies had one left, but it needs a decoder. I have plenty of them in the desk drawer, so I ordered the loco. A couple days after I ordered it, I got a notice from UPS that they acknowledge the change of delivery address. I didn't change the delivery address on this one from Hiawatha, but UPS seems to think I want all future packages to me that are shipped by UPS to go to the CVS store. I don't want to make things worse, so I'll just wait and pick up this package tomorrow from the CVS store.

It shouldn't be that difficult with our modern technology, but apparently it is. I hope it all works out for you.

My first pre-order came in today! A Scale Trains ET44AC-T4 GEVO with DCC and sound. Can't wait to really try it out on the layout. My second locomotive with the painted wheels which is a nice detail. My UP sign on the wall finally has a buddy.
