Kato Industrial Building 23-310 (aka the kit I love to hate)

Kato Industrial Building 23-310 is the kit that I love to hate. I've grown up with Kato buildings for the past 10 years and haven't had much of a problem with them. Lately, I have had an issue assembling Kato buildings, I had a problem with the Engine House and the Industrial building. None of the kits are supposed to need glue to assemble but in both cases, I needed to use PVA glue to keep them from coming apart. Below is the finished product that will make a home on my layout.

Close but no cigar I'm still searching for the perfect Safety Yellow.

Just use your imagination that this model is painted in the perfect Safety Yellow detailed with black wheels silver hubcaps and black Outriggers plus the JR Railways logo. But alas this is what I have for now soon it's getting a dunk in the paint remover for another shot when the Badger Modelflex Railbox Yellow shows up.

Aru Nine Models builds

I've always liked brass trains but never could afford it fast forward to 2023 I've found Aru Models. Aru Models is a Japanese company that makes etched brass kits and mechanisms in HO and N scale. Ive recently completed Model A1007 & Model 1006. Not to shabby I must admit all that's needed is to stuff a decoder in it then paint and add some acetate for the glass effect. 

In pursuit of the perfect Safety Yellow.

Im looking for the perfect Safety Yellow for MOW trains as one who has never painted Safety Yellow this has been quite the challenge for some reason. With some detective skills and Bard GPT ive come up with a few possible solutions that I think may work.

Vallejo Golden Yellow - Too bright out the bottle, Solution to mix possibly with Red, Purple, Black or other color. 

Citadel Contrast Imperial Fist - This is a new fancy ass paint thats supposed to solve world hunger and other things. It looks like a good candidate for Safety Yellow from the videos that Ive seen I have high hopes for this. 

Badger Modelflex Railroad Color Railbox Yellow - This is another one Im holding out hope for as a good shoe in for Safety Yellow. 

Im back on the commuter train kick I guess, Kato 10-1703 inbound

I ordered the Kato 10-1702 by mistake and Ive had it for a while now its grown on me. I usually dont like big sets this is 15 cars large, I like 8 cars or smaller its cheaper. I tried to purchase this set from another place but they didnt have it in stock, So I got it off ebay. I plan on getting the B & C sets eventually to complete the entire set.
