JR 500系 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 YES finally the Kiha-189! No more escape now! Wonder how the chaps who got the previous release at inflated prices will feel now ~ 🙂 Link to comment
Arctic Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Popondetta announcement: Interesting looking train. The front is almost designed to fit tunnel shapes like it should be an underground train Link to comment
katoftw Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 They only changed the upper front end to accomodate the larger led destination boards. I think the -1100 sub series. Link to comment
KateM Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 A bunch of sets of Nankai Electric Railways 2 Link to comment
disturbman Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 Popondetta has announced that they were preparing to ship the Borg Cube, aka Toei 6500 series. Flagging this as I think a few members had pre-ordered it. 1 Link to comment
bc6 Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Popondetta looks like it'll be releasing the HD300 locomotive eventually https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11142689 2 Link to comment
Kamome Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Seems fair game since the main 4 haven't touched it. Some interesting details, head and tail lights with 6 options covering 3 depots, Shin-Tsurumi, Okayama and Naebo. As I understand it the difference between winter and summer spec is some of the vents. Also some options with of without JRF logo. Hope these are easy to replace the rapido couplers. Could make a nice yard addition if executed well. 2 Link to comment
Madsing Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 I am also interested in the HD300. That would be my first Popondetta freight locomotive. I’ll have to figure out how to install a DCC decoder. Marc Link to comment

disturbman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Prepare for blast off, Popo just announced they will be releasing the Osaka Metro ISS module. Schedule says this year, let's see if they will start shortening their announcement to release schedule. https://ngauge.jp/popon20250213/ 4 Link to comment

Cat Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yes. The 400 Series is currently running on the Chuo Line which has elevated sections to reduce flooding risks. There are more 400s on order, and may expand to other lines in the future. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaka_Metro中央線 Dang, that's not even a Shorty and it's mghty tempting! 1 Link to comment
disturbman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yes, the Chuo line where these trains run has a viaduct section. The Midosuji line as well, it starts around the bridge crossing the Yodogawa. I don't remember for the other lines. 1 Link to comment

Cat Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 At 34,000¥, we might be able to resist, stay tuned. I showed it to Roxanne, who liked it, but didn't say "Squee — buy it!" Link to comment
