Kiha66 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That's aoshima's model, they have it available in JNR colors as well. You can buy it new from most hobby shops. I've been tempted to get one but the shipping cost has held me back so far. Link to comment
katoftw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Has a separate lighting kit also. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It was 40 or 50% off in one of the hs sales last year. It sorely tested my will power! One of the forum members got one and was working on it. jeff Link to comment

maihama eki Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have that kit. It's very nice. I haven't built it yet. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 On sale or 30% of list at hlj.com. $50 ems shipping.., https://hlj.com/product/AOS01000/Rld jeff Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Darn, I've had my eye on this one for a while now and I misread that is $50 with ems shipping. Guess It'll stay on wishlist for a while yet. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) It is a static model, isn't it? 1200 parts. Where would you find a drive? O gauge is not that common in Japan. Edited June 17, 2018 by bill937ca Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 HS has three variations!! https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10486825 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10384143 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10320841 Link to comment
katoftw Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 AmiAmi had the JRF version on sale recently also. Link to comment

You can get a fairly decent ready to roll axle hung drive (wheels included) for a few hundred euros and you only need four. At least they would be easy to install. A bigger problem however would be where to find japanese prototype 0 gauge rolling stock to run with it? Link to comment
lighthouse Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Maybe these guys can help you? https://www.nippon-rail-swiss.com 1 Link to comment
kvp Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 For me it looks like sourcing 0j scale japanese models requires deep knowledge of the japanese language and much deeper pockets to pay for them. Great layout btw! Link to comment
cteno4 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 HLJ, HS, and amiami all have had the model for sale at varying times over the last year or two. Always tempts me some then I remember the pile of models to put together... would be a lovely display model, quite detailed. I should have popped when it was 40 or 50% off the one time, I had sweat going down my finger over the buy button. I relented then shortly later saw stock was gone... jeff Link to comment
Kamome Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) As katoftw mentioned in an earlier post, there is a upgrade kit with metal chain, lighting LEDs etc.. First time to come across this pack Edited August 19, 2018 by Kamome Link to comment
cteno4 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It’s in hlj bargain bin at 30% off! https://hlj.com/product/AOS01000/Rld always temps me Link to comment
katoftw Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Aoshima just released a EF66 also. 1 Link to comment
GDorsett Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Do you have a link to that? May be something I need to look into! Link to comment
GDorsett Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Nevermind, Found it, http://www.aoshima-bk.co.jp/en/product/4905083054079/ Link to comment
TimWay4 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Those sound ridiculously cheap..... £114 for a loco of that size, will power is being severely tested right now.... Never mind just seen it's a plastic kit 🙂 Edited August 29, 2018 by TimWay4 Link to comment
GDorsett Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 it's a plastic kit that you must assemble every single little piece as well as paint it. Gonna be time consuming. Link to comment
kvp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 And it costs a lot to add power and working couplers and you have to plan ahead and assemble everything to allow movement through typical 1:45 scale curves, even with rolling stock coupled. Link to comment
GDorsett Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'd like to get the EF66, but I wouldn't be doing any more than metal wheels. My O-scale is limited to a tree-layout for the holidays and a vintage Lionel set, and I doubt that JR engine will look good pulling the Polar Express... Link to comment
