I have unbuilt kits in 3 scales. Sometimes I think my hobby is kit collecting. Always have at least one going on the work desk. Might get caught up after I retire, if I don't buy anymore. But of course I will.
Enjoy

Well I've got a few hundred, at least, pieces of rolling stock to build. And I've got at least eight large cartons of unbuilt structure kits. Other models, well I've got lots of scenic detail things to be painted and affixed to structures or around the layout. Also some vehicles which need to be built and/or painted.

Enough to keep me out of trouble for probably the rest of my life, anyway!

I usually buy and build on the same day, unless the kit involves painting or decals which need time to dry. Currently working on a Rail Power Products kit for a 56ft well car - can anyone advise which trucks to fit? according to the instructions they should be 70-ton trucks with 33 inch wheels, but I suspect there are many designs that fit this criteria - which one is correct for this car? I'm looking for trucks with metal wheelsets.

I've quite a few structure kits, a locomotive conversion kit, and a bunch of resin freight car kits, and a couple of sets of brass car sides all waiting for the day I have a layout to build them on. I also have a few 1/72 and 1/144 aircraft kits, and some 1/35 and 1/72 tank kits also waiting they day I'm ready to build them.

I created three catagories,:

1-Rolling Stock (Includes locomotives)
2-Structures
3-Other models

I tried to include sufficient choices to please everyone, feel free to include feedback or brag about your metropolis.
