Cat Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This is all good and timely info, as my first Aru Model kits have been sent out to sea. Filling up my HobbyLinc.com basket now, they have the Paragrafix bending tool, PE scissors, flat nose pliers, oooh and Pinecar Derby weights for my Shorty engines, and 3mm birch plywood for gaming scenery projects.

cteno4 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The xuron scissors are nice. The are nice micro shears for any tougher stuff you want to scissor instead of try to cut. jeff Link to comment

Kiha66 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Plum models will be making a new kit in HO of the JR 201 type EMU. It looks like a very nice kit and judging by their last release should be fairly easy to assemble. https://www.pmoa.co.jp/product/232.html Link to comment
bill937ca Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Arnold is releasing three versions of exported Japanese locomotives this autumn. N scale 1/160. The 7900 or 279 series locomotives were #RENFE's first generation of Japanese locomotives. Originally designed in 1967 as dual voltage locomotives, they were capable of running at both 3000V and 1500V, which was essential on the network in those years. This earned them the title of "universal locomotives". With a maximum speed of 130 km/h and a power of 2700 kW, they were a revolution in the Spanish locomotive fleet. The 269 series locomotives were the third generation of Japanese locomotives acquired by RENFE. After the good results of the previous series, the orders to #Mitsubishi, manufactured in #Spain, increased from 1973 until the mid-1980s, becoming the most numerous series of locomotives with the most variants in the Spanish fleet. Equipped with a power of 3100 kW and a maximum speed of between 140 and 160 km/h, they have been the undisputed queens of Spanish electric traction for years. They are divided into multiple sub-series, each with its own particular interior and exterior features. https://es.arnoldmodel.com/products/renfe-electric-locomotive-class-269-mazinger-blueyellow-livery-period-iv-hn2535?fbclid=IwAR1lJ-6loDb8BEHo-cd4YCj7AgDKx3tHFt0RdaJrc03DQCfYW-brmDWGivo https://es.arnoldmodel.com/products/renfe-electric-locomotive-class-279-greenyellow-livery-period-iv-hn2536?fbclid=IwAR2l4Wsa8DbgNw0Ee7eOPl2sRu25PDgFml8UXrmaoVXKB23WidU6cu57l74 https://es.arnoldmodel.com/products/renfe-electric-locomotive-class-7900-original-livery-period-iii-hn2537?fbclid=IwAR0FcHUDdzNkf2dsw3Ig3ps0TSfCcTSRPLxz_BKBOgorEKyQMJalhv2W9JM 1 Link to comment

Beaver Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 It seems pretty clear from the descriptions that they are. Should be easy enough to slap a Tomytec or Green Max power unit in there. Assuming you can get one of the shorter ones, which aren't produced as often as those for 20/21m cars. Link to comment

Cat Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just spotted a cute small Osaka type ferryboat on 1999, Kofu Model:https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10992760 Would make for a great T-Trak or Mini module. A little google-fu turned up this vid of them in action. Had to search by the Japanese product name to find anything other than the giant ferries. 渡船 (大阪風味) 2 Link to comment
