Welshbloke Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Anyone know a part number for suitable roof pods for a 103 Series? I fancy turning my yellow Kato Kokuden into one of the Tsurumi Line units, which had an aircon pod on each car amongst original circular vents. Did look on the Kato site but they don't seem to sell them as a separate part. If anyone does a transfer/decal pack that would be a bonus. Hopefully I'm not missing some major difference which makes the Kokuden unsuitable for this upgrade, I find they run well and don't look bad after the paint and coupler upgrades I posted a while ago.

kvp Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Imho you also have to upgrade the headlights from a single big one to two smaller ones embedded into the frame of the old one. (also there is a radio antenna on the cab) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JNR103_Tsurumi_04p5678v.jpg You might also want to look for unpainted greenmax add on parts as they could be used on the Kato sets too.

Welshbloke Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yep, I've now found Greenmax offer the roof pods. I think I have some leftover aerials from Tomytecs and the headlight should be easy to scratchbuild, as these units don't have working lights. I'll probably do it in stages, could always go back later and fit directional lighting (and I think someone does a brass etch to represent the tsurikawa?) Link to comment
