Its finally done with my MOW train!!!

Or is it I think I need a gondola or a flatcar to move all of the wheeled vehicles around, What do you think?

I can do details like the YouTubers, I detailed my EF200

I was in a detail frame of mind today so I took out my Kato EF200 and decided to give a go at detailing it. The locomotive came with an assortment of antenna's, GPS, Number boards and grabirons. All these parts are tiny after all its N scale, To tell you the truth I wouldn't have attempted this if it wasn't for my new Helping Hands from KOTTO. Putting those parts on the loco was stressful as I lost a few of the parts luckily there was some spares and I completed both ends of the locomotive. I also added a led to the Digitrax board that goes in the EF200. So all in all it was a busy day with lots of stuff accomplished.

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.
