Believe me they will be coming out of their boxes and appearing on film in the near future. As Super knows this year has not been kind to me personally so far, but I have every intention of getting a layout of some sort up and running in the very near future. Until I can achieve that though as opportunities arise I'm adding to the rolling stock, but there will be a layout even if initially it is only track on a board until I can build up the scenics on it
All I can say it will be worth waiting for, some of the lighting effects etc... on some of these trains is truly out of this world, better even than on most HO/OO scale models. I also intend to add internal lighting to the fleet as the opportunities arise, but I have to say I have a bit of a backlog in respect of that. Too many opportunities have come along all together and haven't given me chance to catch my breath. It also doesn't help that some (many?) of the trains I've picked up are 8 or more cars long which means of course 8 or more lighting kits are needed, so even at the low'ish prices for the Kato kits they are still quite expensive in such numbers.

Happily collecting things all my life...
