New deliveries:

NH EP-5 electric, Xuron cutters, Dremel collets and new book.

These electrics are pretty small so they only pull about 10-15 cars so, being Memorial day and 'specials', I bought a 2nd electric.   These have motorized pantographs.

The first one that I bought several weeks ago arrived in 'good shape'.

This one had 3 items that needed to be reattached.

Both front windows were in the box.  I didn't use any CA on them and, hopefully, they 'stay in place'.

One of the number boards (to the left in the picture) was CA'ed.  I put some CA on a toothpick to insure very little was on the part before gluing it to the body.

One air tank fell off and the other was loose.  Used CA to secure these.

Decoderpro used.  Made this engine the same number (address wise) as the first engine.

Both of these sets of motive power need to be 'road tested'.

Was missing some 'different size' Dremel collets so bought this set.  Also, from Amazon.

Again, from Amazon.  Used books are pretty cheap: especially train books.
