MicroAce - New Releases

[JR 500系]

That Izukyu 200 series Bagatelle train is so tempting, looks great with the graphics on its side!

 

 

 

But OUCH OUCH on the price really...

 

*I just realised there is no release dates on the poster....

Hobby search listed a release in May...not mentioning what year...

I like the looking.

Hopefully at that price it would be a high quality model.

Must get one of the 08s.  The standard tokyo metro one i guess is the one to get, though the throwback Eidan logo looks cool. 

 

 

 

The Tokyo Metro logo in general isn't bad but the Eidan logo is so iconic I think maybe they might want to consider a switch back to it...

 

 

Meanwhile, the Toei logo for me ranks as one of the best transport corporate logos of all time.

I'll be interested to see those EH10s.  They've built 4 before, but not these particular road numbers.  I wonder if it'll be new tooling.

●実車と製品について EH10は東海道本線電化完成時の直通貨物用として、1200t列車を牽引して関ヶ原を通過可能な性能を持つ機関車として設計され、日本初の2両連接車体、8軸駆動の巨大機関車として1954(昭和29)年に4台の試作機が登場しました。翌年から量産が行われ、1957(昭和32)年までに合計64台が製造されました。試作機量産機の大きな外見上の違いはパンタグラフの設置位置で、試作機は2両の車体のそれぞれ連結面寄り、量産機は運転台寄りに離れている点が挙げられます。量産機の中にはいくつか個性的な姿に改造された車両があり、その中の1台が車体側面のエアーフィルターが交換された30号機でした。東海道・山陽本線で重量貨物列車を牽引して疾走する迫力ある姿はマンモスと呼ばれて多くのファンに親しまれましたが、1982(昭和57)年までに全車引退しました。 ●製品の特徴 (A0828)

◆黒い車体に黄帯

◆パワフルな2モーター（動力車）のセット

◆LA12型避雷器搭載

◆スノープロウ付

◆ATS車上子取付済

◆ヘッドライト点灯。LED使用

マイクロエース　Nゲージ鉄道模型

I note that the snow clearing equipment is painted back, so am I correct in assuming it was used during the late steam era? Also where in Japan did the equipment operate?

A0321 Rotary Snowplow

●実車と製品について 室内に蒸気機関を搭載し、車体前方の羽根車を回転させて取り込んだ線路の雪を遠方へ投げ飛ばすための車両がロータリー式除雪車です。日本の鉄道で初めてのロータリー式除雪車は1923（大正12）年にアメリカから輸入された2両のユキ300型で、細部が改良されて国産化されたグループを含めて合計16両が形式改称を経て1941（昭和16）年以降はキ600型として全国各地の豪雪地帯で活躍しました。ラッセル車が押しのけた雪が線路両脇に積み重なると更なる除雪が行えなくなる豪雪地帯向けに投入されたのがマックレー（かき寄せ）式除雪車で、積雪を線路付近にかき寄せるための可動式の翼が車体後方両脇に設置されているのが特徴です。かき寄せた雪を遠方へ投げ飛ばすロータリー式除雪車とペアを組んで運用されました。1928（昭和3）年に海外の技術を参考に試作されたキ500型をベースに翌年から量産されたキ550型がキ900型の前身で、1941（昭和16）年以降はキ900型と呼ばれて合計で20両が全国各地の豪雪地帯で活躍しました。 ●製品の特徴 ◆蒸気式回転雪かき車

Wherever it snows heavy.

Krackel hopper,

 

it does indeed look like the plows from the early set that included the steam locos. you can round out your collection! At the time i though spending a little over $200 for the plows and engines a bit much but im very glad i did it!

 

cheers

What's the black MOW piece in the middle of the poster?

 

The DMU set in primary colors reminds me of the E130, which I just discovered yesterday, except they haven't left any unpainted stainless steel.

[miyakoji]

A0326 is a McRae snow removal car, at least that's what I put together from search results.

[velotrain]

_{Indeed - I had a hard time deciphering it from the small image.}

I had just decided that KiMaRoKi meant "young woman in bikini", when I found these images.

 

It looks to me that it was designed to follow a rotary plow as a flanger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[cteno4]

The whole set is very nice and the rotary plow is motorized and spins! The flanger's flanges are all functional as well. Nice they are bringing the plows back for the mow fans (krackel).

[velotrain]

for the mow fans (krackel).

 

Surely you jest !

 

I just tried doing a search for "mow" to see how many times you've placed yourself in that category, buy strangely no results were found.

[Densha]

Oh I want that JR Shikoku colour KiHa 54! But the price is just too much... I'll just patiently wait for Tomytec to release one. Now that Tomytec is going to release the Hokkaido KiHa 54-500, I think it's just a matter of time before they make the Shikoku one also.

Oh wow, that catalogue number on the Keisei 1000! A0074! That was probably planned more than a decade ago, to go with the Hokuso 7150 and other Keikyū 1000 types. This was a train I wanted to make for a while for myself, by actually modding a MicroAce Keisei 1000 type (and then making it into the Chiba Express version)... However, seeing that price tag, which is more than DOUBLE of the previous Keisei 1000 type! Insanity! It is however a very desireable train for early 90s Keisei fans like me...

 

[Suica]

@Toni Guess it's like a good whisky. The longer it's aged, the more expensive it gets.

I'm a bit hesitant to pay that much for a MicroAce model though.

[JR 500系]

I am actually glad MA are making models that I am currently not very interested in.  :)  The soaring prices will definitely impact my decision to get a set if it is something I like ~~ MA prices are seriously high with each release...

If this train were whiskey, this'd be a Torys Black with a too high pricetag. If MA is desperate enough, they'll eventually release a Chiba Express 1000 type version, which is a four-car train which I'd actually consider buying. ;)
