I pre ordered this from my favorite hobby shop . Unfortunately, after this pic



my camera screen went black with the words "change the batteries" at the bottom ,so, as soon as I find them, I will. Looking around I haven't any reviews of this thing yet, somehow it just doesn't seem to have generated much excitement, that I can find, anyway. But for me, as soon as I heard Hobby Boss was working on one . Of course, there is that annoying track bed to deal with, but I might look into building an alternative right off, as I'm not to keen on the molded version, we will see.

I will get some up next weekend,as I'm just home for less then a day. I'm not the greatest photographer, and I don't have any real place to take good pics, so it's usualy hit and miss for me. I have a cannon powershot A530 with a stand, what would be the best settings to get good pics with what's there?

Like a lot of kits, the thing is pretty impressive in the box. The track parts, which are the only things I've test fitted, fit much better then the Morser ones, once I set up a shelf, as it's just to long and wide to sit on the bench properly, I'll put them together. The rest of the parts look to be well molded, time will tell as to how well it all fits together.

Sorry there hasn't been much by they way of any updates, but I've had rather a hectic winter what with road closures reroutes etc. That with a few other issues and I don't feel like doing much modeling at the end of the day.

The roads look pretty hairy, get some sleep!- Always good to see these rail projects.
