    Default What are you buying this month? (JUNE)

    I noticed that no one has started this thread for this month. Everyone MUST getting out of the basements, garages, spare rooms, attics, and crawl spaces and N-joying the fresh air.

    School just ended yesterday so I purchased some structures from Ebay that I'm going to kitbash into new buildings. They are a Faller High-rise, 2 Kibri Modern Condos, a Kibri Dresdener Bank, and a Vollmer Toy Store.

    What are you buying this month?

    New shower head and guts and all the yummy pieces that make water go into my tub.

    Bought a Walthers DCC turntable and a foam cutter for my layout: https://www.nscale.net/forums/showthr...New-Haven-Line

    I will also buy a couple truss bridges this week sometime for the countryside portion of my layout, probably the Central Valley Pratt Truss Bridge: http://www.shop.cvmw.com/NScale150ft...geKit-1810.htm

    And today I'm ordering 2,000 more wood ties so I have enough to finish handlaying the entire layout: http://cloverhouse.com/Store/product...oducts_id=2549

    Bought a Tichy Train Rotary Plow kit, and an Intermountain F7B shell. I'll take front panel and rotary parts, and splice to F7B, then paint for ALASKA RR. Also eight pieces of KATO ballasted track.

    Needed new (and better) brushes, picked up a KATO rerailer, and paint at the Metro Trains shop. I figured I'd have better luck painting and detailing if I had a (actually several) ceremonial SAKI toast to the N GAUGE GODS.

    I bought a whole bunch of things from Shapeways. I got my pipe rack parts, train inspection platform, crew platform, pig launchers, crossover stairs, cement silo, traffic lights and tank farm and a motor and bearings block for a rotary kiln I made for someone (I may have forgotten to mention something). Now it's time to paint it all.

    Atlas GP7 TT ... dirt cheap.



    Kato GS-4 ... not dirt, but still fairly cheap ... and certainly not planned

    I actually bought this at the end of May but it arrived June 3. I bought this off someone on the N Scale Yard Sale Yahoo! group -- it's the Showcase Miniatures West Palm Springs mission-style SP station, which has been discontinued for several years. I just made a WTB: post in the group and someone in North Carolina told me he had one, already assembled! I paid $45 shipped for it, which I didn't mind since you can't find these anywhere anymore. The size and the architecture are perfect for my layout, I could never find another station that could compare to this for me.

    That's something that fits right into my plans. I'd be happy to give you your 45 back and you could send it this way. That adobe south western look goes a long way. Very nice metro

    Sorry But I would recommend to visit Showcase Miniatures' website and leave an email or comment requesting they re-run their #101 West Palm Springs station (I already left them a few, so maybe with a few more demanding modelers asking them, they'd make them again!)

    Woodland Scenics rock molds. I'm finishing a Diorama that came with 4 rock pieces and I've been worried about painting them and also wishing there was more. So I bought two molds and I'm making as many as I want and testing different materials , Lightweight hydrocal and plaster of paris just because i have some LOL

    I'm also hoping this is the thing that gets my daughter a bit excited. She LOVEs to paint.
