Nozomi329 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 大家好/Hello guys I'm a college student currently studying in the US. My home is in China, and normally I go back home during the summer and Christmas, but due to the virus I probably have to stay here until Christmas or even graduation... Most of the trains I have are Chinese and Japanese trains (back in China). After starting college in the US I also got a few US trains. Chinese trains are not a major topic here, but if anybody has interest or needs help with them I will see what I can find. My user name comes from one of my favorite Shinkansen trains: 6 Link to comment

Kiha66 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Welcome Nozomi! Looks like you've got a good collection already. The forum may be mostly Japanese prototype, but a few of us (myself included) have fallen for the temptation of Chinese models too. Glad to have you aboard! I think I may have a QJ builder's plate somewhere too... 1 Link to comment
AhmadKane Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ni Hao Nozomi! Can I ask whether there are new models of the CRH? They're the first bullet trains I've ever gone on, and I'm wondering if there are new miniature models of them available 1 Link to comment

They're the first bullet trains I've ever gone on, and I'm wondering if there are new miniature models of them available If a static first car or 3 car model is good enough for you, there are a lot of them on Taobao and covers most CRH train types. However they are static and might come with some shape/paint error. The only available motorized N scale CRH model at this point is the CRH380AL from Kunter. I think I saw a post here about this model. Besides, the CRH2 is highly based on the Japanese E2-1000. Several Chinese modelers managed to paint the kato product into the CRH livery. For HO, Bachmann made a 5 car CRH3 set almost 10 years ago. It's a nice set but is really hard to find. PIKO made a 4 car CRH3 reskin from their ICE3. MTC and Moonrail all made CR400AF trains. 1 Link to comment
