railsquid Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thank you, very excellent timing as it has exactly the kind of setup I was looking for. Added bonus: from about 15:03 what looks like an E233-2000 series passing through (noted should I ever need to "justify" purchasing one 😉 ) 1 Link to comment
Tony Galiani Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I don't see an air hose for a brake line on that locomotive. It must have really good brakes to manage those rakes of cars. I like the asymmetrical look of it as well. Tony Galiani Link to comment
katoftw Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The little red engine that could. 1 Link to comment
bill937ca Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 The little red locomotive appears to be a F6 freight car mobile. It appears these may be numberless, at least externally. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/貨車移動機 More photos: https://dmh.sakura.ne.jp/photo/data/switcher_ja+JRkainan_141_20.html https://dmh.sakura.ne.jp/photo/data/switcher_ja+JRkainan_141_21.html https://dmh.sakura.ne.jp/photo/data/switcher_ja.html https://w.atwiki.jp/qtrain/pages/351.html 1 Link to comment

Indeed they haven't a brake hose. They must have some quite powerful independent brakes. 1 Link to comment
Tony Galiani Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 World Kogei makes a kit for this and it is available from Hobbysearch: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10292593/20/1 Maybe after I get Chihiro Horikowa completed I will order one. Looks like it might be fun to build. Tony Galiani 2 Link to comment
