    River Point makes PE mirrors which I installed on mine and a few other trucks but I agree as nice as those models are they should have come with those. Trainworx has spoiled me.

    Interesting that all the 'bundles' pictures show 4 trucks each yet the descriptions only list 3. Hmmmmmmmm :confused:o_O

    Well the description is correct me thinks as it does list each vehicle set which each does have 2 trucks in them which equals 4, but they also list mirrors which I can not find on the site by themselves? Some of mine came with mirror's and some did not.

    These:

    (1) N37-5L02.00 (Mirrors)

    Here you go, makes sense now, so you get 2 sets of trucks and the mirror's I don't need any more, but I am gonna order some though. They are usually $15.00 for a set and the mirror's are $5.00. That would normally be $35.00 but you get them for $22.50, as least the way I read it?

    Time to place another order. I think this is order #4 over the last 4-6 month's :)

    I'm gonna have to add a truck/car lot I guess :)

    I think you were the one that originally told us about them? Or me at least? You get the mirror's too?

    Yep-all there. Still haven’t installed mirrors on any of them yet. Might be up for it once I get back to the US

    Glad to know there are 4 in the bundle. That being said the description does not add up to 4

    This N Scale bundle includes
    (1) N36-L657.02 (Yellow),
    (1) N38-3JL9.G9 (DPW), and
    (1) N37-5L02.00 (Mirrors)

    That equals 3...not 4 ... :p:p:p

    I meant you get 4 vehicles total :) I think that is what they mean, I guess? Me thinks I am going to order a few bundles too even though I don't need them :) Just a great deal! To me was a deal at $7.50 per vehicle, now at roughly $5.50, even better, plus some extra mirror's.

    I wish that Walthers would have done the Transfer Table in N scale. They only made it in HO. The Transfer Table goes perfectly with their car servicing and locomotive servicing structures.

    Placed a Walther's order yesterday which includes some track and an engine house. Received some Santa Fe Heavyweight Observation cars [anybody need an extra?] and some resin printed cars, depending on the length of the powered chassis coming in, the bus or panel truck will become the front end of a galloping goose.

    I like the 1st generation Amtrak version with 'the pointless arrow'.
    Getting a few pieces of rolling stock and track is good.

    A couple more Fox Valley locomotives, decals for them and other projects, and some of those weathered airslide hoppers that came out this fall.

    So I haven’t been doing much with trains lately, but I have moved back into it now that my sailboat is gone. Oh I miss Luna, but that’s ok, I will own another one someday. But that brings me to now, I bought some trains!

    Amtrak 50th anniversary dark blue
    12652F82-355F-4DAF-8C9A-E40C5A1F99D1.jpeg

    Speaking of blue, I discovered this gorgeous train set on Monday, ordered it from Japan and it showed up today! I can’t wait to see it on the rails, it appears to already have the lighting kit installed.

    The translation as best as I can find is Sapphire Dancer or Blue Dancer.

    Next up from my friends over at PnP Trains are a couple Japanese commuter trains. This is an mis-boxed train, it’s not what belongs, but it has a power car, just missing half of the cars. If any of you know the set number I would appreciate it.

    Here is the other half of the mis-boxed set, but this is actually what is supposed to be in the box! I will buy another set and use these as add in cars. This is a special train that had Kato labeling on the locos and all the cars. This was a promotional deal with JR West, there was a prototype and here is the model… or at least half. No power car in this bunch.

    I also got some track and an old Bachmann Class J that isn’t one of the good newer ones, but it will do just fine as a park display somewhere.
