I've always liked brass trains but never could afford it fast forward to 2023 I've found Aru Models. Aru Models is a Japanese company that makes etched brass kits and mechanisms in HO and N scale. Ive recently completed Model A1007 & Model 1006. Not to shabby I must admit all that's needed is to stuff a decoder in it then paint and add some acetate for the glass effect.

Today I got a tiny decoder ESU LokPilot 5 Micro
I want something smaller than the Digitrax DZ126T I really didnt think that there was anything smaller boy was I wrong. I got an ESU LokPilot 5 Micro decoder and boy is that thing small, I would say that its half the size of the DZ126T thats ridiculous to me lol. This decoder will be going in the new Aru Model kit because the DZ126T isnt small enough and doesnt have enough features.

I was pretty scared to take this project on but yesterday I decided to start working on it.
One tip I can give is to clean the model first so your solder will stick to the metal.
The build in its entirety wasn't bad to assemble even though the instructions were totally in Japanese.
This kit takes a KATO 10-105 chassis for power, I added a DZ126T decoder to this kit.
