And he'll be seeing the real thing in a couple of weeks...

Hey! Like it, Serotta!

[JR 500系]

Nice! Thank you for riding JR West today!  :)

Hey! Like it, Serotta!

Your Nekomori temporary layout is my inspiration - once I acquire more table real estate, I will put together all my different layout elements. :)

[serotta1972]

I spent a good hour painting the resistors white on my double catenaries.  I thought I'd show case my awesome detailing work.  :)

 

 

I didn't do a good job capturing the white resistors on the pictures but it sure does look good.  Got lots more to paint.

 

 

[JR 500系]

Great job! all the minor details is what makes a layout stand out from others ~

[Kiha66]

Looks great Junior!  I've been slowly been doing the same with mine.

[serotta1972]

Man, this modeling stuff is hard work.  I just painted another batch of catenaries. I'm working on the single catenaries.

 

[cteno4]

He is going down the rabbit hole!

[Kiha66]

Wow, nice work!  The string drying rack is a great idea.  Hope you have some good music and front view videos to pass the time while you paint!

[serotta1972]

Instead of running trains - I decided to paint the resistors on my catenaries.  I'm pretty darn proud of myself and I actually enjoyed it.

 

 

Got lots more to do - at least a couple of evenings worth.

He's getting hooked I tell you!

[Kiha66]

Next thing you know, there'll be roads and buildings too!  Its only a matter of time at this point.  :P

[buckingham]

They look good.

What did you use?

[serotta1972]

I used Testors Matte White model paint and a 3/0 brush.

[Pauljag900]

Painting catenary pole resistors? Trees on the layout? Here we go again! Too late jeff, he s already gone down it !

[locidm]

So deep in the hole he is!

 

Nice work Junior.

[serotta1972]

My only dilemma is that it takes away from my train operating time.  

[medusa]

Yes indeed this becomes a problem very fast... ;)

[serotta1972]

Reverting back to my first love - running trains! These trains are so elegant looking and a nice departure from stainless steel contemporary trains.

My first running session since returning from the land of trains, bento boxes and so much more. :)

Newly acquired and trains ridden while in Japan.  I used to just get the basic 6-8 car set but for whatever reason, I wanted the whole train this time around so I went and got the 6 car add on for the W7,  also the add ons for the E231 to make the 11 car set and the full 16 car N700A Shinkansen.

My baby girl approves, all is good!

 

[cteno4]

A chip off the old block for sure!

Full length 11 cars E231 is the best (for me - memories).

[Kiha66]

Nice haul Junior!   Its hard to appreciate the size of a full 16 car shinkansen, even in N scale, till you try to fit it in onto a normal sized circle of unitrack!  We'll have to have a bay area JNS members shinkansen line up one of these days.
