BullFrogs

This is just a quick update before I head off to dinner.  The BullFrog turnout controls finally came in from Fast Tracks.


I purchased all unassembled units (they're $3 cheaper each that) which means the days that followed were me building them.  I seem to be doing about 1-2 a day depending on how much time I spend on it.  They don't require a lot of effort and really probably the main thing that slows it down is that I like to leave them clamped and the glue drying for a while before going on.


Here are a few assembled units, waiting for hardware...


While I was out this weekend I also swung by an out of the way hobby shop in the off chance they happened to have anything interesting in stock.  Well they did -- a Blackstone multi-pack in Rio Grande flying herald, weathered, AND on sale.  It was the last one, sitting on the shelf by itself.  Well you know I couldn't pass that up.


That picture doesn't do it justice. The cars are extremely detailed and worth the extra cost.
