The latest Yellow from Tru-Color

I have lots of hope for this one, I've opened it and it looks better than some of the other yellow paint that Ive purchased. 

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!

This is it, I used the Tru-Color on some bare brass and it looks good I'm sure it'll look better on top of some primer. I may actually decide to have the brass shells professionally painted we will see.

Today I received a 10-1703 set E235-1000 Series Yokosuka-Sobu line, Only 7 more cars to go for a complete set lol. Maybe I'll be able to pick up the 3-car set and another 4-car set in the future when they are re-released.

Kato Industrial Building 23-310 (aka the kit I love to hate)

Kato Industrial Building 23-310 is the kit that I love to hate. I've grown up with Kato buildings for the past 10 years and haven't had much of a problem with them. Lately, I have had an issue assembling Kato buildings, I had a problem with the Engine House and the Industrial building. None of the kits are supposed to need glue to assemble but in both cases, I needed to use PVA glue to keep them from coming apart. Below is the finished product that will make a home on my layout.

Close but no cigar I'm still searching for the perfect Safety Yellow.


Just use your imagination that this model is painted in the perfect Safety Yellow detailed with black wheels silver hubcaps and black Outriggers plus the JR Railways logo. But alas this is what I have for now soon it's getting a dunk in the paint remover for another shot when the Badger Modelflex Railbox Yellow shows up.

Aru Nine Models builds

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.
