katoftw Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Tofu SL kaiju cars being pulled by old Hokkaido DD51s in JR East Aizu region. 1 Link to comment
Kamome Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 That DE10 looks quite smart in Hokutosei livery. Apparently Tobu acquired 1109 from JR East in 2020 when it was painted into this livery from the standard red. As for models, think its only Rokuhan who produced a Z scale version of the loco in this livery although for N you can buy decals from small companies like R-Kobo. 2 Link to comment
SwallowAngel Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 After quick maintenance it is always a good idea to run your model's motor car in without any load (or so I heard atleast...) 5 Link to comment
railsquid Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Aha, so JR Hokkaido acquire their stock 2nd hand from auction sites too? 1 3 Link to comment

Tony Galiani Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 @railsquid - Would you happen to know what the story is with this? I am really curious since it doesn't look like the best route to be moving a railway car. Tony 1 Link to comment

Tony Too tired to check, but I think from the comments it was something like the car was going to be scrapped and the depot it was going from doesn't have good road access. 1 Link to comment

Beaver Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Waiting for the museum to be built? There seem to be quite a few larger railway companies saying they intend to build company museums. 1 Link to comment

KateM Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 This is Umisachi Yamasachi, a JR Kyushu limited express running at the Nippō Main Line and the Nichinan Line. They are two cars of Kiha 125-400 class, originally bought by Takachiho Railway as their class TR-400, later transferred to JR Kyushu after Takachiho Line got cancelled after extensive typhoon damage. They are part of a "retro trains" NDC car line made by Niigata Iron Works. 1 Link to comment

MeTheSwede Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 The curve radius on this layout is unrealistically small making the train look silly. Also look at that gap between modules in the middle of the curve. 3 2 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 LOL Swede, that’s why I tell folks I love to model Japan! jeff 2 Link to comment
Cat Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 That's a really really well done T-Trak corner module with nice sound added too! Link to comment
