My Temporary Setups - Mostly Trains!

By the way, Serotta, I like the way you've been doing your temporary setups, the green felt is a good background for everything else, draws the eye towards the trains and scenery! much better than pushing all the furniture to the side of the room.....

Hey Ewan,

 

I saw the Shinkansen Cab Car power bank in one of the stores at the Tokyo Station when I was there in July and I believe it was an E7.  It's the one store that had JR Merchandise such as Suica card holders, mouse pads and such.  I almost got one but didn't.

Hehehe, damnit! I'll have to go and properly explore Tokyo Station next time....It's such a huge station, and the range of shops is kinda overwhelming.... can you give me an idea of where the store is?

Hey Ewan,  I was looking at the Tokyo Station map and couldn't figure where it was - I do know it was in the bottom floor and it wasn't just one store front but a rather large opening on 2 sides which had several stores in there.  This one in particular was selling travel related gadgets and bags while the others were more souveniers.  Sorry, I was a little bit disoriented when I was in the station.

Changed the title as my setups have evolved ever so slightly, went from "Nothing but trains" to "Mostly trains" and a little bit of this and that.

 

Ran my Kyushu and JR West Limited Express trains in my little rural setup.

Hehehe, it's OK, I'm sure I can find time next time I am in Japan. I always like to spend at least a few days in Tokyo.... I know, it is so easy to get disoriented in Tokyo Station.... I know I always get stuck trying to get to the N'EX.... I always end up at the Platform 1 for Yamanote Line, not the underground Yokosuka Line....

Been fixated on longer trains lately and specifically Limited Express but got to give my DMU's some love too.  Had a DMU meet-up in my rural town.

You're absolutely right, there's actually a new release that I like. Next DMU meet-up, Hokkaido will be represented.

A couple of days in later in N Scale time - a contemporary DMU meet-up was held, mostly JR East but a Kiha 25 did make it from JR Central.

Did a couple of mock ups for my rural station module and this is what I came up with so far.  I would like to fit into a 2'x6' space, this one is almost is 7 ft, I will need to shorten the station by 2 platforms and it should still accommodate a 6 car train.  Need to do a little research so I know where to place all the extra building and other details.IMG_3728.thumb.jpeg.d001a3218c98fb19f9842378e41a0a59.jpegIMG_3726.thumb.jpeg.c00caf02b612f001093f063f54098fb5.jpegIMG_3748.thumb.jpeg.44501b523069000b443099eaa5540ae8.jpegIMG_3747.thumb.jpeg.5e956531b182c6becf0a4ef69dca4bdd.jpegIMG_3744.thumb.jpeg.42ee5c0f1d03c22e733a86e3246d7086.jpegIMG_3742.thumb.jpeg.5b92ae68bdce50cc5daceec796c33721.jpegIMG_3740.thumb.jpeg.0bd6953ed0d42e3ac8451d7dd9efcc2c.jpegIMG_3732.thumb.jpeg.da8343274571b9d8405d2ea1a27c58b7.jpegIMG_3729.thumb.jpeg.68eddf323a311d5a003b98bea5403c0a.jpegIMG_3725.thumb.jpeg.614f77245aced26d6daabee8ff84c6a8.jpeg

Passenger service revenues are down so I thought I would diversify revenue streams and get into freight service.

Going back to what I do best, running trains.  Giving my North American trains some love and exercise.  Passenger trains are Kato circa mid 90's, the freight cars all Micro Trains and locos are Atlas GP40 and SD9.

Nice!!! Gotta love the 383 series and the Kiha-85s!!

 

But  I think you do mean JR Central/ Tokai right?   :grin
