These side shots are about (1) my finally receiving and powering on something new and (2) chasing some items down obsessively over an extended period of time. Coincidentally, in the last week I have seen one or two threads here about (2) with people's searches often lasting many years - I think there is something Traindiesel! has been after for the better part of 20 years and has not nailed down yet. Whoever it is I feel for you buddy although my obsession only seems that long when in fact it may only have been 4-5 years.(Probably it's my vast age that makes things seem longer ago than they really were, in particular as on Monday I'll pass another milepost on my way to attaining Methuselah status.)
A couple of months back I posted about seeing a car like this owned by a collector I know. I found an older version of this CIWL Euro/Orient Express car, fortunately in working order as respects the interior lighting:
This is 2rail Euro O scale and won't see much running time because I don't have (and have no real interest in getting) a corresponding size engine and more than the few sections of 1:43.5 scale 2rail track I already have. It will be a passenger car display piece; watch this space. Meanwhile, the detail of this is pretty phenomenal when seen up close:
This arrived while I was trying to make time for my UP Generator Car project, something I hope to revert to by next week.
