KOTTO Helping Hands with magifier

Today Amazon delivered a new piece of kit called the KOTTO Helping hands with magnifier. I was in the market for a magnifier but didn't want to do a head worn type so I decided to get the KOTTO helping hand. I also got some flux paste and some 3mm solder. 





Aru Nine new motor kit for the TOMYTEC DMV Bus

If you're like me I purchased the TOMYTEC DMV bus when I first heard about its announcement. I thought to myself why doesn't this have a motor now it does. The motor kit is from Aru Nine who make a lot of etched brass kit that use various powered chassis. The YouTuber in this video shows how to install the motor kit into his TOMYTEC DMV bus, I think its pretty cool if you ask me.

My first decoder install in a while Kato Series E531

It was a pretty straight forward install, Take off the cover then remove the power bogie. Slip in the EM13 and do the reverse.

Its cute I guess with bonus build photos

I completed the GreenMax MOW set at least the engine part of the kit. Here is the kit next to the TMC 100, I think with some weathering and some grime it'll be a real looker.
