  1. On Thursday (12.14.2023), Changming is releasing a new batch of DF4Bs. The specs are similar to their recent DF4s and DF4Ds. The locomotives come with a next18 DCC pin socket as well as lighted engine room in DC and metal handrails. I have the authorization from Changming to share their product pictures.

    High Speed Rail in Tibet

    Tibet now has its first high speed rail line. https://www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructure/lhasa-nyingchi-line-inaugurated/59409.article?utm_source=RGInewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Main Story Link&utm_campaign=RGInewsletter- 20210702 “The first electrified railway in Tibet was inaugurated on June 25, with ceremonies in Lhasa to mark the start of operations on the Lhasa – Nyingchisection of the Sichuan - Tibet railway. ”Diverging at Xierong from the Lhasa – Xigatse line opened in August 2014, the new line runs for 404·8 km to Nyingchi, also known as Linzhi, around 15 km from the border between the Tibet Autonomous Region and India.” “The line has been laid out for 160 km/h operation, with trains covering the 435·5 km between Lhasa and Nyingchi in 3 h 30 min. China Railways is initially providing three D category trains in each direction, operated by CR200JS-G electro-diesel trainsets. The nominal freight capacity of the route is put at 10 million tonnes per year.”
  3. After having spent a few months in Sri Lanka and India travelling on around 100 hours of trains, my wife and I were starting to think that we were getting bored of trains... 😲 We just finished a month in China and wow this is something else. We took a 14 hour bullet train from Shanghai to Chengdu and it was so comfortable that the time flew by! Even the "Slow" trains are pretty comfortable, clean, air-conditioned and very cheap. I think China is really an exciting place to explore train travel! Can't wait to see if the mag-lev will actually get built! I want to get on that as soon as it's ready! Do we think they will actually build it? Or is it just showing off?
  4. This thread is for other asian brands (non-japanese) product announcements and new releases. Information is really sparse, so I thought I make a topic out of it. All items in this thread are N Gauge unless otherwise specified. July 2019 announcement: Taiwan Friendship Train 1M1T 2 part loco set in "Kansai Airport Express" livery, Taiwan $ 10800 excluding shipping and handling. If you don't have a source, you can purchase it through this link
  5. Youtube uploader fmnut seems to have quite a video library. All over the world and from various decades, if you're looking for some railway or railway-related video, his page is a good place to stop. Below are two recent videos of his featuring the Trans-Siberian and Circum-Baikal railways.
