Trainboy90's Purchases

[Super]

Plan on any coming from Santa T-Boy?

I usually get more money so I can shop for more stuff.

I'm getting 2 or 3 packages in the mail tomorrow

Now that I got the Rheneas and Dennis models in the mail from eBay yesterday; I needed to make Smudger and Norman, there they are before and after.






Before

and


After

As for the 3d printed siderods, the little ball that's supposed to go into the wheel is too big so I had to use a dremel to trim it down to the correct size to fit in the little hole in an engine's wheel. I would rate it 4/5 because the little ball needs to be resized. Other than that, they worked fine . Only took less than a week from Start to the mailbox. I will be more than happy to buy more of these for more engines in more colors for more customs.

Here's a set of Sideriods I got in the mail from Shapeways yesterday (Thanks FlyingFordFalcon for making the models for us to use on our engines):


Here's one of the 2 sets I got as of now


Closeup shot to the ones I got. it feels a little grainy though. It depends on the material used to make them.


I'm still waiting for my other 2 Packages of this batch to come in the mail.

Your customs look really cool T-Boy, I like how you think.

I am not impressed with Shapeways 3D printing of the rods though as they look to be rough and not smooth. I wonder what Nigels will think of them.

According to Muddy Poppins, I should be getting TnA Percy (He got his 1st one just a week ago) hopefully around 3 weeks after being shipped. My Amazon purchase of both Plarail Edward models haven't came in the mail yet. I bet the Plarail Edward will take around a month or more to get to the mail. The 2 8620s and the 2 Edwards were from different sellers. 

I'm probably going to purchase a TnA Thomas and maybe 1 or 2 others in December because I'm on a tight budget for buying rare engines. It's ok if it's expensive but my monthly $200.00 budget can get in the way of some purchases. Sometimes I would have to buy more siderods on Shapeways as I'm planning to get black siderods as well to complete my Norman custom.

TnA Percy came in today, this is my first Japanese TnA Engine. I'm also looking for Japanese TnA Thomas and Japanese TnA James also Japan exclusives TnA Henry, Gordon, Toby, and Diesel 10 when I can afford them to complete my collection of Japanese TnA Engines.



Also mine only came with 2 of the 6 magic rails used by the TnA Engines. I have the one rail that a TnA Engine says a certain phrase and the Stop and Go Rail. The rest I don't own currently. If Spare TnA Rails are avaliable and I have the money, I'll get them.
