I'm now even more tempted by the Tomix ED76 0.  I also know this area of track in Yahata. Looks like the Chikuho Dentetsu track when it still ran past Kurosaki.

That's so nice!

I still like EF locos and Series 24or 14 sleepers!

These are great pictures wow! thank you for posting them in this topic.

They bring so much inspiration and ideas for train compositions 🤩.

Wow, the 70s series are quite neat.  What a unique cab shape.

Yes I was always quite taken with the 70s. Look nice in Niigata colours too. I missed out on the Tomix ones a few years ago.

Also thanks to @Modellbahn JP’s gratuitous train porn, I have now preordered the Tomix JNR ED76 0 for release at the end of the month.

I have a Tomix 70 series in Yokosuka livery, it's a very attractive train. I believe that style of cab was known as a "Shonan front".

 

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

I don't need more HO trains, I don't need more HO trains... 😁

The front of the 70 is a cleaner design than the original Keio 3000. I was also intrigued by it.

I know right. I have an N Kumoni 83 from Kato with the Shonan cab. I really wanted one of the HO ones. They come up on Yahoo Auctions from time to time, more so the Niigata area ones for around 65,000 yen which is around their price as new. Alternatively Modelbahn Union in Germany have them new for 700 Euros, so around 90,000 yen.

 

I think I'm safe from temptation but they are lovely looking trains and models.

I'm so relieved I'm not into HO. I would bankrupt myself 😉 The 70s were pretty rare in N for a while and fetching ridiculous prices on the second-hand market, particularly the Niigata are versions and the Hanwa line version. But it seems the fad receded somewhat.

I remember it was interesting to produce Series 70 in Niigata color by Tomix HO scale.

Old fans think that was the flag ship color as to say Niigata area.

 

Also, That sounds good you preordered that!

It would be good you let ED76 0 haul Kato's series 20 sleepers like Akatsuki or Suisei etc.

It's so nice series 70!

I think it would be great Tomix also release 2nd class coach(Green Car).

It was included in a composition when it run on Yokosuka line.

 

That's right as you said.

Shonan front was passed down on Series 80 EMU.

I took photos of Series 70 EMU on Chuo line at Nagoya station when I visit Iida line in 1976

 

This is s type of first lot head coach.

A front window frame was made by woods.

Interesting to see Yokosuka livery at Nagoya.  These have 3 doors per side, do you recall if they were operating local and rapid services as they would today, i.e. for Tajimi, Nakatsugawa, etc?

Yes!

In those days, Series 215 EMU had been running as Rapid train "Kaisoku Acty" on Tokaido line.

I guess if Series 70 EMU was operated today, it would come true as you said.

It would be interesting 2nd class coach(Green car) is connected when run as Rapid between Nagoya and Nakatsugawa.

Getting more excited about the imminent 20系　release from Kato. I ordered 2 of the Narone 21 as they look like nice models with the curtain details. I want to make an earlier Akebono formation, Kato has it around 1974 with 2 Narone 21s. Probably need an early version EF65-1000 at some point too.

That sounds so nice!

I think it would be unsatisfied without the curtain details because it's sleeper!

Searching that, Kato released an early version EF65-1000 in 2019.

I hope some shops have in stock.
