Yes, I love the interior of that observation deck car.

 

I think I generally have a train fetish for anything BI-levels or Round front....

 

No filthy imagination now! :angel2:

about 787, maybe you want the old 10-320+10-321 set Tsubame in old color (light grey)?

I still wait the new Sonic  :grin

I wait one RTR Kintetsu 23000

the resin kit is really hard to find and to much expensive (over 50000JPY pre painted) and you need one Kato 21000 for lower chassis

 

and maybe (but that's a dream) the italian EMU ETR300 Settebello in N scale from Kato/Hobbytrain

Wow they are really neat trains!  Settebello looks so much like the Romance Car, was there any linkages between the two?

103 Training Car (or any commuter prototype training car that is distinct from the regular line version).

 

Notice the spinning red light to warn other drivers  :grin

ETR 300 is much older (1952) than Odakyu Romance and Meitetsu cars (around 1960-65)

the Japanese designers has been inspired from Italian train (use google translation, this page explain all)

p.s for HO scale friends, this train is expected in 2010 from ACME company

Wow the Japanese is really in love with the design.  I wonder if the Settebello's driver compartment is as cramped.

 

@David, not only train drivers but I think some of the car drivers in our cities need that too  :laugh:

*doing a bit of a gravedigg* Oh! Interesting topic.

 

I'm eager to see a cheap model of the Bogey type LE railbuses made by Fuji-Heavy industries ( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/LE-Car ). Just like TOMIX did with the LE-Car II (two-axle version) a some time ago.

 

These cars are in use on many 3rd-sector lines in Japan, but are now slowly being replaced with LE-DC cars, as on the Mooka RR where the MOOKA 63 Series have been replaced with MOOKA 14 Series. Ah, the MOOKA 14 Series looks so awesome! A cubic watermelon :9

 

Maybe there is hope that TOMYTEC in the near future produces a series of these DMU... They did a great job on the old railbuses, so why not modern types?

The Nagumo unit looks nice. But I assume going by the colours, its the Royal Imperial train that the Emperor rides on? Anyways that would make a nice N gauge model for my fleet!

Intriguing - I never knew JR had special stock just for crew training ??? . Do any of you have an overview about this?

Furasato Ginga Railway railcars, last private railway on Hokkaido, I rode the line in February 2006, a few weeks before it closed.

Tomix showed them in their catalog back about 2006, but I've never seen any.

 

I've got this one in the 999 Livery:

Quite a nice runner actually! The (regular i.e non 999 livery) shows up on eBay every once in a while.

* Series 787 (non Relay Tusbame)

 

 

After *years* of searching I finally finally found the 2 car add-on set for their old 787. Ahhh happy camper now.

What are some of your favourite trains or trams that you wish to see available in N gauge soon?

Here is my list...

 

This train is available now from One-Mile.  One-Mile has released die-cast, un-powered trains in the past, this may be the same type of model.

Definitely! That's been one of my favorites since I was a kid....there was a section on it in an "Atlas of Railways" that my parents gave me. (Still have it, too.)

 

There's lots of stuff I'd like to see in N scale, but I still need to catch up on what is or isn't already made.... <<--newbie

Hi Scott!

to be honest this train in N scale already exist but is a little bit much expensive...

Preis : 2450,00 €

 

<gasp> <choke> <boggle>  ???

 

the same reaction with a lot of word that I can't translate  :grin

Convert that into US or Australian dollars and you'll really have to pick yourself up off the floor. I'm glad this isn't a train I want.
