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.

I found ANOTHER one Very Easy (Totemo Kantan) Kit Series Wooden Bogie Observation Car Type B Body Kit (N scale)

While going through my train equipment I happily found a Very Easy (Totemo Kantan) Kit Series Wooden Bogie Observation Car Type B Body Kit (N scale). It looks like the window layout is different from my other passenger cars.

Below are some build pics hope you enjoy them.

The Aru crew

I had a brainstorm to take a picture of all of the Aru 9 models that I have in a group photo and this is what I got. They are not finished but some day I hope to complete paint and run them all.
