Lina_Blue Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Okay, in this video, the nice layout is only a backdrop for this E233 series train. Lot's of liveries! *I searched the forum for an appropriate thread and thought this one would be the most fitting. If not, please let me know so I can better myself and avoid such in the future. 5 Link to comment

That's Tomy, I've subscribed to his channel for sometime now. His diorama is great, although I suspect it might be a rental layout. He does beautiful self customised models, like his Marine View Odoriko in Blue and his 287 series in a strange Green Buna colour ~~ Bet he's having fun linking all the E233s together! But he left out E233-2000 Chiyoda Line ~ 🙂 2 Link to comment
railsquid Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Though some videos are taken on rental layouts, I just noticed: 1 Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 And here's Tomy, and I think he chartered or rented the entire layout! 2 Link to comment

He called it the 特急 あじろぎ or Limited Express Ashiruki? Is that a real Limited Express service? 😛 2 Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 A whole mirage of custom built, self painted, sometimes fantasy liveries! OMG on that GSE! Still glad Tomix is doing it! 3 2 Link to comment
Kamome Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I saw this guy at JAM this year. Some really fun ideas. I’m sure the rivet-counters would disagree. I particularly liked the Girls and Panzers Kashima Rinkai diesel cars pulling some tank loaded flatbeds. Link to comment

Unfortunately I think most of the cars are sold out now, and I wouldn't even know where to get the model tanks 😞 Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 And when you have way too many E259s and is getting sick of the same old white and red: 3 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Dragon made some 1:144 tanks, those might be close enough? Someone even did those armoured railcars and some other rail items, but I'm not sure how successful converting them to run would be. I thought these were also by Dragon but can't find them anywhere now. Link to comment
TimWay4 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 yeah 1:144 tanks would be close enough,my problem is I need to be able to purchase complete and ideally painted models, I don't have the eyesight, tools or skills to make or paint kits that small these days unfortunately 😞 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Tim, there are a lot of 1/144 prebuilt and painted tanks out there. Take a look on ebay for some. jeff Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Yep, Dragon offered some in neat little diorama boxes. I bought my brother one for his birthday about fifteen years ago, it had a wagon carrying a Panzer IV, an open wagon with infantry, and one of the armoured railcars. All presented on a length of track with static grass base and a clear acrylic lid. Edit, found it. Snags are that the wheels are moulded as solid lumps with the axleboxes and suspension, so it looks ok as a static model but would be a swine to fit proper wheels to. The Panzer carrier wagon (which has an unloading ramp at one end and a well for the tank to sit in) might be easier as the wheels are completely hidden, although I haven't checked the overall width to see whether an N wheelset plus pinpoint bearings would fit. If I can find another one I may have a go! Edited September 24, 2018 by Welshbloke Added detail Link to comment

I did a bit of touching up on mine, her hair needed darkened but nothing a marker couldn't fix. Dragon did whole series for most common German WWII tanks and F-Toys has done a few sets of both Japanese and German tanks.

Unfortunately the model is too big to run unless I have completely prototype size curves. Link to comment
