Lol true but I love the model. There is no way in heck I'd use this as a track cleaner. I have the other more capable track cleaner from TOMIX that works

Remember when I was looking for some die-cut numbers to put on my commuter cars and couldn't find them? Well, a few well-chosen words in Gemini, and I found them. The numbers are from Popondetta. You can try to order them from your favorite Japanese model train shop. #nscale #modeltrains #ngauge

Hey guys, what's up? Long time no see. I haven't had much to post, but I've been working on my GREENMAX inspection and pantograph stands for the GREENMAX engine shed. I'm still working on it and a bunch more stuff needs to be done.

TOMIX retro container.
GREENMAX Pantograph stands then a EF66-27 locomotive. In the package was an ARU 9 snowplow, Kato spare parts, and a cool TOMIX container from 1990.
Today was full of N scale goodness, First up was several GREENMAX Pantograph stands then a EF66-27 locomotive. In the package was an ARU 9 snowplow kit, Kato spare parts, and a cool TOMIX container from 1990. #Kato #TOMIX #modeltrains #ngauge

Unfinished vending machines.
I finally got to work on the vending machines kit from Sankei yesterday that ai got while in Japan. I need to pick up some color markers for the ones that have the edges exposed. The structure is from Greenmax and a Tomytec Japanese police car. #ngauge #modeltrains #tomytec #kato

So this will come in useful hopefully some day, I attached pics of the book and a couple of pages from the book with a dime for reference. #nscale #Kato #modeltrains #ngauge
28.05.2025 00:00 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The numbers that I was waiting for from Home Depot showed up today. The numbers are from Grainger and come in a book of labels, I thought they were squares but it seems that they are wraps. The interesting thing is that you could do hundreds of sets with this book if you cut the numbers down.

DCC is scary at first but it gets easy and you play around with it I think.
I still put little blue circle stickers on my locomotives that have DCC decoders in them. If they're new enough to be DCC decoders ready I'd open them up and check you never know.

Is this better?

After printing the labels I attached them to the underside of the Kato passenger cars. I had to get creative with the placement of the labels, Now I can place the cars in the proper order. #kato #ngauge #modeltrains #nscale

I made up a few labels on the Brother P-Touch all I need to do now is add them to the passenger cars. #nscale #modeltrains #ngauge #kato
