What did you order or the post deliver? (Worldwide Models)

[Section31]

Just got the Kato V13 Track Pack from local retailer. Turned out it was open box so not exactly pleased but at same time, it was most reasonable deal considering the shipping costs for the thing and everything else. 

 

Just waiting for the kato controller x2 and the other stuff to come in and will have it all running in coming month. Perfect timing with my first batch of pre-ordered trains coming. The Kato 10-2000: Yakumo Limited Express is really nice looking.

Follow up to my post (re: Kato Big Boy with sound) of a couple weeks ago... When I want to relax I let the 4014 just run around the perimeter mainline of my layout and enjoy an adult beverage. That thing is rock steady. Kato, you did a good job! 👍

I bought a shed! Please enjoy my stable of British locomotives.

 

 

The Lima HO gauge Class 33 on the right was my first proper model train, which I got for Christmas in 1976 at the age of not-quite-4. Still have it, but it's in worse condition than yours.

The next big shipment came in. First of the Changming. Very high quality. Guess i need to buy some chang ming freight trains for it since the normal nem ones for kato/tomix/european ones don't fit the Changming.

That's awesome! My first was a OO Scottie; which is ... partly intact; this Scottie was bought in tribute to it. This 33 is the product of two mothers. The body shell from one, and the chassis from another. The *other* one I have is made up from the leftover chassis* and body shell** and I promise it's in worse condition than yours! Two were eventually reliveried and repurposed for use in Scotland so that's my plan for them.
