A case of the “might as wells”... - Japanese Tankers

I had a case of the “might as wells” with the Japanese Tankers. I found the one lot with the grey and yellow Tankers and then was thinking, maybe I should look for some other colors. I have a few in Black I believe already but went ahead and got the 3 black, blue, and yellow. I also found a lot with one of each. These are all the standard size (length) I believe and not he longer ones like the silver and green versions. Now I need to finally have my shipment sent. I somehow have 14 auction wins again.. Cool

Very nice selection of rolling stock! It reminds me that I’ve been really lax about searching for tank cars the past few months.

Quite the Tanker haul Ripley. Look forward to seeing all 14 of the purchases in this delivery.

Yeah the other items in the auction wins are mostly NIB so quite a bit different than my last auction wins. Big Grin

Now I am curious, other than these colors and the longer silver and green ones, what colors are there? Excluding the Thomas versions?

Its not all the Tankers available but maybe you will see some that you like in this video. Some of them you won't find in this form as I tried to replace any of the colored deck/chassis with black ones and with grey wheels.

Thanks Super. Great video and as always, amazing layout.

He says as I am partially tearing down the Layout. I have been removing layers after every video until there will be none. The layers of dust has really accumulated. So much so that after running a train I have to vacuum the engine and cars as they pick up so much. Some parts of this Layout have been there for over 5 years. Its going to be real nice to be able to get this off the floor and be able to run a vacuum again.
