The Bunny Barriers have been printed

Yup, I just got a notification that the Bunny Barriers  have been printed and shipped. If you don't know what a Bunny Barrier is it is a cute animal could be a bunny it could be a frog or a duck. In Japan, they are used in areas where barriers are needed usually around construction sites, etc. So being I like Japanese items I decided to get some barrier bunnies printed since I don't think that they're made commercially.

Working on the GreenMax Train Maintinance Garage

Well at first I didn't like this structure I thought it was dated and probably wouldn't fit into my timeframe which is modern day. But after playing around with it the structure grew on me and when I started putting it together I liked it even more. Below are some pictures of the kit in various stages of assembly and it is not complete or painted. I built this structure to my specifications so it looks nothing like the other pictures you may see. I plan to add an inspection walkway to the maintenance garage as soon as I find the material needed which I give credit to this video its pretty simple some styrene and brass handrails, I may also use the brass Aru inspection stand that I purchased recently.

New Japanese N Scale gear from Japan

Today's arrival is a lot even for me lol, I think I got a lot of everything I got items that I wanted like the Cosmic workstand and the Aru brass kits I am pretty psyched about that. I got some clear Kato display tracks I always see them on some YouTuber's channels. I also received a GreenMax Enginehouse plus a couple of Kato Japanese Tokis and a special TOMIX Koki. I also got several pantographs for the Aru brass kits and trucks. I purchased an Aru model Inspection walkway for an engine house I guess. Finally, I got another Kato EF200 All in all it was a nice package to get, but I'm not sure where to start with it all. 

The HVAC's are here!!!!

And they look good, I have a sample HVAC on a small building next to an N scale figure for size comparison and I must say the HVAC looks gigantic next to him but realistically so. And the ladder looks good as well I think.

3D printed Barriacade Bunnies, YES!!!!!

Barricade bunnies are a thing in Japan and so are barricade frogs too..

Once I finalize the 3D models I'll send them to the online 3D printer to be printed in Hot Pink. I can't wait until they are ready to be printed. I'll post post pics of the Bunnies once I have a minute.

The shell is on the EF200 finally!!!!

I have a Kato EF200 that I installed a Digitrax DN163K0 decoder, The decoder install was a breeze but I couldn't fit the shell onto the chassis because of the decoder. I needed to modify the shell to make room for the chips on the decoder. I dreaded doing the modification because I was scared of messing up the shell. It's been more than 5 months since I installed the decoder but today was the day to do it so I grabbed the trusty Dremel and Xacto knife and started hacking away. Yes, everything fits and the shell is nice and secure, Glorious pics below for your viewing pleasure. Talk about coincidences look at the color of the Dremel tool and the EF200 wow so strange.

JR Research Cabin (Very cool)

Today I found out that there is a JR Research Cabin that rides on a Koki the link below shows the model in N scale of the JR Research Cabin. This will be my next project in Tinkercad once I finish the others.
