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.

I sort of overlooked one a few years ago as I already had a later version. I do like the larger PS17 pantographs on the earlier units. I assume they all got replaced with the PS22 eventually.

I see.

I also think EF65-1000 with PS17 is good.

My shop has an early Katsumi's EF65-1000 in stock.

It's more cool than one with PS22.

Love those classic boxcabs!  I only have the EF13 in N, I need to pickup a 15 and 16 as well sometime.

This train is "Myojo".

U-trains make some beautiful brass models of the 24 series coaches in brass OJ gauge. 

 

One of the features is an electrical panel lit up like this. I wish a manufacturer did this with HO models.

I often use their website to get ideas for detailing.

I've seen U-Train's one at the company shop in Tokyo.

If anything, I felt it was grotesque not realistic because production was too good...

Oh really. That’s interesting. Never seen them in the flesh  but the website would have you believe they would be exquisite models. 

[Kiha66]

What a cool shot, I love all the interior detail you can see though the back window.

A classic JNR EMU.  Must have gotten warm in the summer with no AC and those round vents.

Nice to see some more shots from Yahata with the 421系.  I also have a real love of the 581/583. They looked like real workhorses and their 3 tiered beds were probably pretty difficult to get a good night's sleep on. There's a cab unit at Kyushu Railway Museum with a Gekko headmark. You can sit in the compartments but sadly not in the cab.

 

It's one of the those iconic EMUs I'd like in HO although I already have one in N.

 

I remember seeing pictures of the Lufthansa Airport Express in books and the Lima model in models shops as a child. Such a weird looking train perhaps inspired by Donald Duck. Not sure if that's an onigiri or an all seeing eye above the cab though.

 

I am really enjoying your photos @Modellbahn JP. I know realise I was born in the wrong era for my main area of Japanese railway interest.

When I lay down a middle of 3 tiered beds, I thought " I'm not a livestock!".

I got on TEE Rheingold in 1986.

That experience was beyond all description because I bought  HO scale by Märklin when I was JHS student and I whished I could get it on someday.
