Default I'm hooked!

My Late Tiger build is going extremely well if a bit slow.....family stuff! I'm really starting to enjoy this hobby! I'm so wowed by it that I had to get another. As I have accumulated well over 200 N Scale Locos over the past few years, I thought I'd put 3 or 4 up on that "Auction site" and see how they sell. Well, they sold well, well enough for me to now be the proud owner of a full option Tamiya Sherman with Impact TU's, T-66 Tracks and all of the idler, return roller and road wheel upgrades. I'm also ordering some detail upgrades from axel's. I expect that some large boxes will turn up next week.

...it's like a disease!


So can any of you point me to some Sherman resources?


Thanks,


Phill

Hi Phill!

Good to see another Brisbane-ite on the forum.

This hobby is very addictive - in the space of 1 year i went from 1 tank to 6 tanks

I was a long time Model Railroader, with a large N scale basement layout. Then I discover these tanks. I haven't run a locomotive since. You will find two is not enough.

Get a few friends hooked, start a club and get into some IR battle. Your life will never be the same

Yes, I have found that Tankzone is tad on the expensive side.

Axels and Etoarmor seem to be the better etailers as far as range and price is concerned. Eto would prob come out ahead as the US dollar is a little better then the Euro.
