disturbman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Of course but I don't buy spares. I have already enough trouble keeping me not to buy everything. I don't need to add spares to the equation. :D Link to comment
cteno4 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I have been trying to be very good this year and keep from buying trains as much as possible (well those new lrv tomytec trams were just too much to resist) as i have way to many trains to play with right now. tried to switch to smaller scenery and detail stuff thats cheaper and $25 gets lots of little things to keep me occupied and busy! i get scared sometimes when i look at the train boxes and the $$ start to jump out at me. but as the borg say, resistance is futile... you will be assimilated (into your layout)... cheers jeff Link to comment
Claude_Dreyfus Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Currently awaiting the aforementioned Kiha 110 (see my grumble thread on here!) to be fixed and get delivered. Also waiting on an N Gauge limited edition Dapol Terrier (Brighton Works) and a blast from my childhood - a 00 Guage BR class 47 - 47406 'Railriders' . 'Railriders' was the name of the BR sponsored young enthusiasts club back in the 1970s through to the early 1990s. No orders from Japan at present though.... Link to comment
NGT6 1315 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm beginning to worry - is there something wrong with me? Pre-ordered the MicroAce E653 earlier today. HWJ state late November as the release date, which should give me sufficient time to figure out where to put all those units . Link to comment

scott Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh, forgot--1 pack of R15 Unitrack to replace what I scavenged for the line extension, and a #6 turnout with controller to add a siding along the unused side of a platform at Centra(a)l Station. Link to comment

Welshbloke Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The 8835 has turned up, as has the Plarail EF66. Still waiting for a couple of Marklin HO coaches and the set, although the first one of those has appeared. Link to comment

Guest ___ Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 HobbySearch had a record shipment. I ordered a bunch of trees Sunday and they arrived this morning via EMS. Link to comment
Fenway Park Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Tomytec House C suitable for the mining village on the layout plus Suha 32 Suhafu 32 and Mani 36 from Tomix as well as the TN couplings to make sets of coaches. Link to comment
Bernard Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Fenway are you modeling a mining village? Any photos you would wish to share? Ordered the Butterfly platforms and Kato overhead stations on Tues from MB Klein and they arrived today (Thur) That is what I call quick service! The Kato overhead stations that I'm going to kitbash are a little different than the one I have already. The original one doesn't have glass windows on the A frame and I had to assemble it. These are mostly assembled. I wonder how they're going to match up? Link to comment
SubwayHypes Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 EMS is so cool. I have something coming in the mail but its not N scale related. I am halting N scale train purchases for a few months because i am sinking money into another project of mine, a Stag Arms AR-15 Assault Rifle which is being shipped from my friend in Atlanta. Sometimes running trains doesn't provide the same stress relief that shooting a few boxes of .223 rounds gives. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Pft AR-15, gimme me that grenade launcher and a few terrorists any day. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have a vending machine and scooter that's expected. Link to comment

disturbman Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I hate when it happens but you can do nothing about it. You are waiting for a package and then you get so bored that you decide to go out no matter what. Then you come back home and find a little piece of paper saying that they come but you were not there and that if you want your package you will have to move your ass... So, now, I'm going to ride my bike, direction the other end of the city. (this rant should also feel at home in the "What is your least favorite part of Model Railroading?" thread). Link to comment

disturbman Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I would say tomorow. Customs usually take a whole day to be cleared. Link to comment
scott Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Recent arrivals--the Modemo Enoden 300 tram and the Kato Haruka. Both got test runs while I was getting ready to do last night's layout work, and they both ran very smoothly. Link to comment
