    Alright, just ordered some tables to put my two 2 x 4 layout bases ( which I am also going to completely redo over the next week or so ) on so I can finally have the exact height for both. One will be up all the time, the other just like now, when I want to put the L piece up. I can also use the table for the L sections for doing other projects when not being used. N Scale kits, plastic models ( bought a Academy 1/72 Memphis Bell kit months ago, still new in box ) The reason I wanted adjustable heights, kept having to use wood pieces and such on the existing one table to get it to match height.

    I also purchased an Intermountain DCC equipped FT A&B unit for the CB&Q, from a really nice member in the Swap Meet area. Just a few of many purchases over the next several weeks or months. Mostly at first lumber, foamboard, etc... I just might finally have the start of a decent small layout to work on. I hope :)

    Lifetime 2' x 4' adjustable folding table, 22", 29", 34" me thinks! Excited to see if they work out, they should. Was gonna build legs and such, but wouldn't save much and I can just lay the I guess you would call module son top of these and break it all down if need be.

    Also, the Intermountain DCC FT A&B units from the Swap Meet area here. Waiting on the Post office to deliver payment. He should have it today or Monday, I hope. Should be additional purchases coming such as lumber, foamboard, N Scale switches, and who the heck knows what else.

    I think I saw these on someone's layout recently on here. Are these new and are they because of the Mar's recent lander robot thingy? BTW, that was just awesome as is the SpaceX stuff to me :) Love watching those rockets land back on the pads as well as that ship thingy.

    Micro-Trains has been releasing these one a month for the last 10 months. I was surprised that I got 2 cars this month. There are 2 more cars left in the series.

    The series started with the Sun and then followed by all the planets. Bonus cars are the Moon, NEOWISE comet, Haley's Comet, Milky Way Caboose, and the Dwarf Planets. They come in a lit and unlit version. There was also a locomotive for the set too! I ordered the Sun, NEOWISE and Haley's Comet cars in lit but the rest are just regular unlit cars.

    I'm not sure what MTL will have for their next special series, but it has been fun collecting this set!

    Hmm,

    Saw on a forum that Atlas C55 track is apparently in short supply, so I found a place to buy it for a planned, but not certain layout expansion. Right after that, my normally supportive wife sort of flipped the switch, deciding I didn't need to expand my layout into my current office space, as she would prefer an exercise room. So, my immediate exercise was to watch the door closely so I could hide the track before she saw it.

    Michaels is clearing out some of their Artminds items from about 40% OFF regular price. Grabbed some trees, plaster cloth, and supposedly water effects in the tiny bottle ( water effects not clearance used the 20% coupon). Been wanting to try this but not pay the Woodland Scenics price yet :) Going back for more if I like the trees.

    Alright the trees are awesome for that price. Going back for more tomorrow. Now question, trees don't really have a scale or these don't and most I have purchased don't, right? All I know is that I like them and they are really nice for the price. For $6.00 - $7.00 per package I am really happy :)

    A brand new Michaels is supposed to open about 4 blocks from where I live. Due to CoVid... the opening has been delayed for several months. I had gone to Michaels a few years ago which is about 10 miles away to buy cheap acrylic paints. Only half a buck to a buck for a small 2 oz bottle... which was a lot cheaper than the Testors and other model specific versions. These paints would be for scenery use anyway. Always can find stuff there that can be useful for scenic use.

    Don't forget to use the 20% coupon , off regular and I think sale items, but NOT clearance. And the cashier told me the 20% would apply to everything, Except clearance. And since Hobby Lobby no longer has the 40% off coupon, time to go to Michaels instead! I think they have an App too for the 20% coupon, me thinks!

    What brand controller is that, if you don't mind me asking? You get it at the hobby shop too?

    @french_guy Beat me to it... It is indeed a Digitrax DT602D. I have not gotten a chance to use it yet, but I will have my modules set up this weekend I hope and will give both the loco and the throttle a try.
