2 spare diffs from Jenny’s. They were priced well and I'll need them eventually, considering I have 7x 3s rigs.

I haven't needed to. My diff have held up ok in the past. Just got these for spares. Plus these are heaps cheaper. I can buy 4 of these for the price of one 4s diff.

Candies from strangers?!

Yes! If you eat up all your RC candies, you'll grow up to be big and strong!

The botton 2 weren't bad but the top one came with instructions??? Who needs instructions for candy??? Jeez!
I chipped a tooth but it wasn't bad.
Not as sweet as the others!
(Nice score on the motor!)

Is this van still parked at the main lobby?

No they threatened to tow it on me last week if I didn't move it! "Eyesore!" Karen called it!
Its best to keep a van like this on the move anyways.
I don't want it getting jacked!!!
Ppl EVERYWHERE are ALWAYS eyeing it!!!

bought a toy train

Are you planning to lift it and put a Castle 8s system in it???
What did you get???
Is it "toy" or scale?

A Castle 8s system would probably suit those 7.5-inch gauge that you can ride on.
I got a Bachmann 45 Ton Diesel Switcher it is g gauge.

There are a few 1/4 scale ride ons around here. I dunno what powers them though.
Looks like a cool train. I'm thinking on the scale side more than a toy for kids but it sure looks cool!
Do you have a fancy track layout?

If they are 1/4 scale, that is freaking huge! 1/8 scale is already big enough and needs something like 30 feet minimum for turns, so yeah, 1/4 might as well be a speeder. No fancy layout, and if you knew the reason I even got into G scale, you’d laugh your butt off. I am more of a small-scale person when it comes to locos. Prior to this, the only train set I would use was T gauge. Search them; you’ll be shocked at their size.

Should have gotten 2 to take advantage of the free shipping. Besides, it'll be good for you to have 2, since we all know ya'll end up breaking one, sooner rather than later.

Shipping was free I guarantee you this one won’t be broke this year

So, you're not even going to take it out of the box?

They are outdoor tracks thst would be capable of sitting an adult conductor and passenger kids.
I might have scale wrong.
I think one of them is even like an attraction for kids to come see. (late night, blurry pbs memories!)
I agree. Sometime the smaller scales are more fun, challenging and ARE more unique!

Not til Xmas

He could still drop something on it or run the box over with the Queen Family Trekster!

Bought a 4-40 tap for the plastic body posts on my sk, and some polishing wheels and a mandrel. I don’t have a dremel but I can just chuck it in the drill.
