katoftw Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 A0302 What to do if derailed by such as Maya 34 points (2019.02.27) February 27, 2019 In the case of arrival at wholesale shop [A0302 Maya 34-2009] , please try the following things when the truck is derailed by points. The lower part of each dolly has protruding details (red circle in the photo above). If the truck is derailed, this projection may be stuck at a part of the track where the track is uneven. In that case, please cut and use this part with a cutter knife. If derailment does not occur, cutting is unnecessary. We apologize for any inconvenience, thank you. Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) As I had mentioned the other day elsewhere the Keihan Keishin 800 Series will be coming out in its new livery, which is the standard Keihan Mainline livery, there are some other release including the Nagano Electric Railway Series 3500 and Series 3600 as well as the JR Hokkaido KiHa 183-5200 Norh Rainbow Express. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10601241/30/1 Edited March 22, 2019 by Das Steinkopf Link to comment
nah00 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I really want to like the KiHa 183-5200 but the front end of it is just meh. Link to comment
disturbman Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yes, that side is pretty meh, but the other would be the normal KiHa 183-5200 cab end. https://css.trainspo.com/uploads/photos/1024/1348-74477v0_20160524.jpg How come the North Rainbow Express has/had such a cab end? Did the set have an accident? Link to comment

The good thing with A8631 is even though it is the old colours and old logo the car set is 803-804 which means that it can be run with A8360 as it is 801-802 so you can have two original livery/logo 800 Series running together, the frustrating thing with A8363 is that it is numbered 815-816 which are the same car numbers as the original livery but new logo A8362. I hope someone can point this out to MicroAce in time so they can change the car numbers so you would be able to have the new livery train and the old livery/new logo trains running together like you would have during the transition from the old to new livery, if not it looks like I will just have to renumber A8363 which would be a little bit easier due to the numbers being on the white car sides or dark grey front as opposed to being on the baby blue of A8362 and having to try and colour match that.

Das Steinkopf Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oh joy I have realised that car set 815-816 was the first of the 800 Series to be repainted so I will have to renumber my A8362 set so that I can run the new and old liveries together, luckily I have a spare A8362 to work on, I just have to get some silver numbers to reuse hopefully I can get some of the Greenmax Keihan decal sheets to renumber it.

JR 500系 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I am actually very excited about the Kiha 48 · Resort Shirakami · Kumagera (strange that the translation becomes kumage) . It is one of the last few Kiha-48 still running on the Gono line? It would like really nice with the HB-E300s and Kiha-40 on the Gono line (which is one line I MUST travel on)! Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 According to this source, it looks like the Kiha 47 Setouchi Marine view is getting re-released! I bet it will excite many! Having the original, this train is simply beautiful & unique especially the round windows and the oars up front! Link to comment
katoftw Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If it is done for 11,800 yen as suggested. Then that is a promising sign that MA are getting their prices down. Link to comment

Good thing I didn't ride this train on my last trip as it was on my list but just ran out of time because that would warrant me getting it for sentimental reasons. 🙂 Link to comment

Have you got any info as to when the 800's were going to be released, I have the New Livery version on preorder and I know they were originally slated for an August release date, given how bad the $AUD is at the moment and the fact I have spent a bit of late I don't mind waiting a bit longer for this one.

katoftw Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Nope. The MicroAce website just says ordering has been suspended. And even the upcoming release posters have been modified to not show those Keihan trains. Just blank white squares. 1 Link to comment

I see what you mean by that, oh well we will just have to wait and see what happens, on the flipside I had to do an unplanned preorder of Kobaru parts due to their imminent closure which costs around the same as the 800 so I am more than happy if it is delayed for a while to give my wallet a slight reprieve. http://microace-arii.co.jp/poster/img/19_03w.jpg http://microace-arii.co.jp/poster/img/19_05w.jpg 1 Link to comment
