Used Plarail, Gordon. There was no major damage, but the critical battery metal fittings were broken. You can buy a new Gordon-kun for just under 2,000 yen, but I decided to make my own to kill time. I used a hook with adhesive tape attached. 100 yen a long time ago
I made my own battery fittings for Plarail.Read more "
Kato's Alco RS-3 diesel locomotive was purchased second hand a long time ago. When I removed the paint, the body was dissolved with solvent, which was ruined. The power was strong, so I decided to put the cheap Bachman RS-3 body on the back, and then backman parts shop.
I tried putting Bachmann's body on the Kato RS-3 mechanism.Read more "
It's a little late, but I took a look at KATO USA's SDP40F. I was quite interested as this was my first time making a model. SDP40F is very similar to EMD FP45, so I thought it wouldn't be made into a model, but Kato-san did his best.

Plasser & Toiler Multiple Tit Tamper 9-16 is now on sale by Green Max. I bought the yellow version. The design is good, but at first glance it looks a little yellow and not deep, making it look cheap.

I had a little time, so I compared the ED5010 from the railway collection that I received the other day with the ED5010 World Crafts that I had obtained a long time ago. When you line them up, they're quite different. When viewed from the front, the width or thickness of the car is quite different. The appearance from the front is much different

Although it is a foreign model, I received Kato's Siemens ACS-64. I'm impressed. Last fall, I had a chance to see the actual car, and the atmosphere of the actual car was recreated well. Although it has not been driven yet (lol), it is possible to recreate a modern Amtrak detention track.

November 11th is Veterans Day, a national holiday in the United States and other countries. Simply put, it is a day to pay respect to all active duty and retired military personnel. The veteran (=veteran) paint is based on this feeling. Amtrak also has P42 number 42.
I got P42DC Amtrak veteran paintRead more "
A flyer with an image was sent to me by a wholesaler in the United States. I made the image smaller because it was an advertisement/reprint without permission. That's not the problem (^^; I saw the actual car last year, and I think the atmosphere has been recreated for the most part. As expected from Mr. Kato.
