Martijn Meerts Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Does anyone have any of the stuff made by Realline? They're on the expensive side, but they do look good, and it looks like they make some models that other companies tend to stay away from. This one for example looks real nice http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10097700, but it'd have to have some incredibly good running characteristics to justify that price tag =) Link to comment
bill937ca Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 This guy has a D51 which he compares with about 5 other makes. http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~toyoyasu/index.htm Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 They sure do look good.. Wonder if they have the motor in the tender or in the boiler.. Steamer with the motor in the tender aren't really my favorite, but many with a motor in the boiler run rather terrible.. Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The Tenshodo units are breathtaking in their detail (and their price!)—I wonder if they run as well as they look. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 http://www.realline-jp.com/partstorituke.html Just found that one.. Seems you have to install quite a few details yourself, and the loco's come with a small bag of "coal" ;) Also show some shots from the bottom of the loco and tender, and you can see the motor isn't in the tender, so it'll have to be in the boiler. I'm really rather tempted =) Link to comment
