I have chosen to shift gears from dioramas for awhile unitl castings become available for my next stationary steam engine.
I will be building here a Japanese iconic locomotive in 1:24 scale. It is a significant model crafted in steel, brass, and cast die metal. No Plastic.
The delivery truch arrived this afternoon with all the goodies packaged in boxes.
The origninal intent of the distributor was to ship the kit in stages over a period of several months. Then the option was made to purchase the model all at once as you can seee from the number of boxes in the front hall!
