Container Calendar

[Krackel Hopper]

I really like this idea.  It's one of those block calendars, but with containers.

 

Appears to be 17 twelve foot containers.  Each side of the container has a different month/day/number.  Also comes with the Tomytec display track and two Kumo 1 flat cars.

 

The calendars will be available in a "regular" and a "tetsudou-musume" design.  Unfortunately, they do not have a picture of what the tetsudou-musume containers will look like.. but the normal are nice and simple.

 

If on a exhibition layout, would be cool to put the current date in a container yard.. surrounded by a bunch of other random containers.  Just one of those little things that some people, but not everyone would catch.

 

Pre-orders just went up at HobbySearch.

I really like these, may actually be my first purchase in the realms of doing my layout as they are kind of affordable for me, though I'd use them as a reminder for the date I next want to run my cleaning train through the layout.
