My Temporary Setups - Mostly Trains!

Oooh, thanks for looking out Sammy!

JRF Running Session: Junior's JRF Freight and Loco Depot - Freight service is slow right now but whenever it does pick up or we acquire more freight cars, we have the locomotive power ready.  Yes, I am aware that the locomotives outnumber the number of freight cars.  :)

The DE10 is the only one without the JRF logo so I'm not really sure if it belongs here but it's one of my favorite locomotives.  I think I've seen it hauling freight on youtube, not sure though.

 

You need to catch the Koki and Taki bug. And even better then you can catch the container bug. Then before you know it you have more Kokis than track!

Brought out the 15 Degree crossings and created an intersecting double oval which made for exciting double train running.  There were potential for collisions so it put my train driving skills to the test and also made me pay attention a little more.  I admit there were a couple of minor collisions as I panicked and instead of gunning the throttle to avoid the collision I stopped the train.  It was a lot of fun!  :)

 

 

The trains running are Kato 111, Tomix 113, Kato 115, and 4 Tomix 115's.

If I can ever get rid of my Atlas and Micro Trains Freight trains, I just might get me more Japanese freight cars.  Maybe.  :)

Oooh, thanks for looking out Sammy!

 

I want the one made in 2010.

Running some older Kato North American Passenger Car Sets and new Minitrix German and Passenger Cars.

 

Kato 6 Car Smoothside Passenger Car Sets and E8/9 Locomotives - Union Pacific and Burlington Northern

 

Minitrix German IC Passenger Cars and Swiss Eurocity Passenger Cars

 

Just in case you are wondering - the German train is being pulled by a BR EF65 and the Swiss train by an Re EF81. :)

Commuter Trains Galore!  

 

 

I noticed that most of my contemporary commuter trains are Kato except for my recent purchase of the Tomix 225 and 313 but some other new Tomix are coming - 227 and 323.  And vice versa where my 115 fleet are predominantly Tomix.  Hmmmm.

 

[Pauljag900]

Nothing wrong with tomix,ha ha,I m starting to favour the tomix over kato,I may have been unlucky but I ve had some running issues with kato but none with the tomix trains.

[Eurostar25]

Awesome fleet Serotta!

Yeah, there's some luck involve - as my sample size grow, I'm beginning to believe Jeff more that the 4 main brands are all good and will always have some lemons. We will always have our biases.

Simple oval depicting a single rural line in my imagination and running newly acquired 2 car DMU's and single Double Cab Diesel Cars.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

[katoftw]

DMUs, heavenly.

[Kiha66]

I really like the Kiha 40 in the JNR two color scheme, is that a micro ace model?

[serotta1972]

No, it's a Tomix as most of my DMU's are except for a couple of Kato's and one Micro Ace.

[nah00]

How quiet is the Tomix Kiha 40?

[serotta1972]

It's a good runner and quiet according to my standards.

[serotta1972]

Double oval with a 15 degree crossing and 2 Terminals in the land of Kyushu.

Contemporary Limited Express Trains - Mostly East, 1 West, 1 Central DMU and 2 Kintetsu.  All Kato except for one of the Urbanliners but a Tomix 253 will be joining the fleet soon.

 

 

2 of my favorite Limited Express Trains - Urbanliner and 253 Series.

 

 

The reason I love Japanese Trains - so much variety in design and colors!

[serotta1972]

Heavy snowfall in the forecast!!!!  Got the DD16 Russell Snow Plows on standby.

 

 

New faces - there's always something new and different. Kiha 25, HB-E300 and Kiha 183.

 

 

Random trains - DE10 and 12 Series Cars and Kiha 30/36 DMU.

 

 

 

[Kiha66]

That snow plow looks good!  I may have to pick one up myself. 

[serotta1972]

I really just wanted the DD16 Locomotive but it's not available by itself currently so got the set, the snow plows are a bonus. I like them though.

[JR 500系]

Great line up as always!

 

It's nice to see having fun simply just running these trains for fun and need not give a care about them not being at the right region at the same time ~  Sometimes we need to give the rail police in us a break and just let free and have fun like what Serotta1972 does!  :)

If the DD-16 had lights I would definitely buy the set but that's the turn off for me (pardon the pun).

[railsquid]

Is that the Kato version? The Microace DD16 does have lights, but is an erratic runner.
