marknewton Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I think these will be very popular models, not just with JNR modellers. There's also private railway versions being made, such as Ohmi and Seibu. Cheers, Mark. Edited March 15, 2016 by marknewton 5 Link to comment
velotrain Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 These are 10K yen less than the Neko version, but each is on Waiting List status. Are Neko models generally considered better than Tramway? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=101&cat=&state=&sold=0&sortid=0&searchkey=ed14 Link to comment
marknewton Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 G'day Charles, The Neko models are made for them by Tramway, so the quality will be the same. I can only assume that the price difference reflects custom painting in the private railway liveries, new etched number plates, and possibly licensing fees. All the best, Mark. Link to comment
Nick_Burman Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Even though they are 1:80 scale the prototype locos are so small that they could find a place in 1:87 layouts...especially US prototype ones... Cheers NB 1 Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) This is a very positive development- perhaps an ED19 is a distinct possibility in the future? I would be all over that. Edited March 19, 2016 by bikkuri bahn 4 Link to comment
marknewton Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) An ED19 - how good would that be? I'd be keen to have a couple myself. That's a great video too, do you know what line it was filmed on? The sequence at 4:41 where the train crosses the street is wonderfully atmospheric! :) Cheers, Mark.

Fenway Park Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The ED19s operated on the Iida Line. 1 Link to comment
velotrain Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hobby Search has a World Kogei HO ED19 just waiting to go into your Cart. However - for the asking price I would have expected a completed model, not a kit. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10206729 I just recently picked up the Kato N-scale version with a Myojo Cement set. 1 Link to comment
marknewton Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've looked at the World Kogei model, but it's out of my price range for a kit. And knowing what a procrastinator I am it'd probably never get built anyway. Nice though. Cheers, Mark. Link to comment
marknewton Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 The ED19s operated on the Iida Line. Thought so. Thanks! Cheers, Mark. Link to comment
