Ahah! Welcome! You have been bitten! You need an E5 to connect to that E6 ~~ And then an E3 to also connect to that E5, and then an E2 to connect to that E3 etc...   :)

2 parcels came in recently, one about 1 week ago, and the other just today!

 

A parcel containing my usual tissue source of MA trains... This shipment isn't very appealing to me except for the 485 series Inaho perhaps... The rest are like... Some Tomytec buses to complete my bus collection and a really nice looking cement truck!

 

The other parcel is a nice one! My first order from Ami Ami came in today! Got some items that I couldn't get elsewhere especially the Toei Bus book which I definitely will love to read, and my first Kilo Post. Like how Ami Ami wrapped up my little geomatrix decal sheet!

185, 117, 221, refurb'd 485... excellent choices.

 

Thank you. I like the 485 the best, these 485 series really gets to me, especially the Hakucho "yellow-faced' which I already pre-ordered. The 221 is nice in a way I can now connect to the 223 to run ~ The 117 is fine and looks quite nice as a older model, and it's still running now:

 

 

I'll talk about the 185 in the next post...

Ordered some Tomix 5.6mm dia black wheels to fit my incoming efWing Kumamon 6200 train.  The trailer sets for Tomytec only come with silver wheels.

 

Also ordered Casco urethane 12 car insert for a empty tomix 6216 case I have been storing.  Will puts some Tomytec trains in this case that have painful storage cases themselves.

I chanced on a rather scruffy pair of wagons last night in Akihabara:

They will go nicely with the "James the Red Engine" I rescued from a junk bin (as an apparent non-runner) as a future birthday/Christmas present for BabySquid :)

As my EF65 thread has proven, anything can be made to work.  Just need a big enough hammer, as Jeremy Clarkson would say.  ;)

Oh, I got him to work fine, no hammer involved, just the insertion of a Kato coupling spring where the sun don't shine. Here he is pursuing you around my proto-layout:

This is why everybody who makes train cam videos and doesn't want to be visible on them should wear a backdrop patterned shirt or hold a skyboard in front of them. :)

Or edit the video better ;). There's a bit "missing" where I was even more visible... Anyway I've more-or-less worked out where the on the layout the camera points towards the 1:1 scale human.

 

Which reminds me, now the baby is sleeping nights I have a fighting chance of finally getting some work done on the layout :)

It almost looks like one of those old duck & cover commercials.. You know, where they say you should hide under the table in case a nuke goes off nearby :)

Ha! Those were not good times in school when we had to do them. But at least in California they translated well into earthquake drills...

 

We have the most digital accidents (ie phalanges in front of trains) when we run the train cam, everyone (adults included) want to put their mug in front of it or at least wave into the camera.

Nothing ordered (yet), but I finally managed to get some time to continue working on the helix. About ready to start cutting some more wood and building the internal structure of the thing, so I figured I'd check how much track I'll need to buy.. Turns out I need close to 500 euro worth of track and turnouts for the helix alone. Going to be some 80 meters of track on the thing ;)

You could run real trains on a 80 meter stretch of track!

 

(Okay, the gauge isn't correct, but you get my point.)

Yikes that like 7.5 scale miles! That's going to take some time to get thru!

 

At 1m radius that's like 25 loops?!

 

Nobody has ever accused martjin of being timid about his trains!
