New stuff new trains from RG-ROKKO
It's that time again when a new delivery from RG-ROKKO has shown up and these are the things that I got.
I picked up another EH200 locomotive from Kato I just like them for some reason and they are easy to install a decoder in.
I decided to get a set of GREENMAX JR103 cars with the intention of turning them into MOW trains. I can't find the ones I'm looking for because they are not in stock so I have to make my own.
I got a few replacement part like traction wheels and some locomotive parts and antennas plus some bogies.
There's a cool Mook about soldering brass HO cars in full color. It's a very informative read on how to assemble brass HO scale kits
The second pic is of my new D51 from Kato with the Aru Nine passenger cars that I built. I think that set makes a nice excursion train

Aru 9 Trolley WIP
This Aru 9 kit I think is one of the first kits that I've purchased and put off building it for the longest. The trolley kit has been the most complicated to assemble because of the small parts that need to be fabricated from the brass sheet. I took my time looked at the instructions and double-checked them three times lol. I did a dry fit and so far so good this is what the completed model should look like without the chassis.
