Baureihe VT18.16 Kato ( VT 18.16 05 DR ) 1/4

I picked up the last one of these Eurorail Hobbies has sitting around.  They were able to track down a set of the two add-on cars too and those are on their way.  Here's a video set to music of the Kato set.  Very classy model and the start to my East German prototype collection.

Accurail's Pullman-Standard 4750 CuFt Grain Hopper

Jeff over at Lombard Hobbies had some of Accurail's new PS Hoppers in CNW green.  I was a little skeptical how these would come out but note they shot these in green plastic so the paint covers very well and the decal of the herald is very crisp.

I'll be back for more once the budget recovers from Jeff's Athearn Genesis deals.  Here's a pic.  Not bad for around fifteen bucks.
