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. 

TOMYTEC Maintenance Set

 Finally out of the box the TOMYTEC Maintenance set 

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.

Got some tiny LEDs

 I got the magnet wire now the leds, Today I got 200 tiny leds which I will attempt to solder magnet wire onto. Let's see how this plays out because they are really tiny.

TMC 100 Arrives

I have this thing for small motorized things and the TMC 100 scratches that itch for small motorized devices. I've been interested in MOW equipment such as the Green max maintenance set which I recently acquired but through my searches I found the TMC 100 which is a motorized version of the GreenMax engine which I was going to hack a motor into I may still do that.
