Tenshodo announced their HO EF15 and 185 series will be delayed.  Thus is good news for me, gives me time to spread out some purchases!

That Tenshodo 185 looks very nice. Are you planning an Odoriko?

[Kiha66]

The EF15 is the big wishlist item, but I may pick up a 185 as well if I have spare hobby money that month.

I've seen a post about 185 EMU from a shop of Yokohama.

It looks so nice and I recommend JNR Express and Tokaido(Shonan) color.

 

 

I think it's difficult to arrange with a factory of Bachmann in China.

I heartily agree, the 185 is gorgeous in those.

But Shonan colour is sold only at company stores so it's shame I can't order from the wholesaler to upload on eBay or my EC store.

Wow! I particularly like the JNR express one. I have to be tough with myself and not fall down the rabbit hole of buying JR era trains as well. I’ll stick to a few JNR era ones but they are extremely nice.

 

I’m sure it’ll be a lovely model but justifying a 7 car unit made in China for ¥130,000 or a 7 car unit  (Kato Kiha 81 formation as example)  made in Japan for ¥50,000 is an easy choice for me. Then when you add the regular 30% discount from most large online stores, the difference gets bigger. I’m sure i’ll be impressed with the finished article comes out. 

 

I’ve seen a few images but does the train mark change with a motor or scrolls like the Kato n gauge ones do?

About this video on KTM channel, If you wanna change the train mark, should scroll by your hand.

(From 1:02)

Thanks for the video.  @Modellbahn JP Slightly less impressive with a stylus than the twisting Kato n gauge mechanism but lots of options and more prototypical in terms of how it moves. I wonder how well it would stay in place once the train moves.

Would your Kusatsu service become an Asama with a bit of Odoriko?

 

I know this is just probably a pre-production sample so who knows how well the finish article will fair. Tenshodo are not known for the duds so I’m sure QC will be very tight.

 

I wonder if a third party might develop some kind of mechanism to add to it.  We’ve already seen a YouTuber do this  on an n scale train.  

 

Also that ED46 looks pretty impressive but ¥363,000 is also a bit hard to justify for one of my many hobbies.

Confirming that, It was "Amagi" not "Asama"(I also made a mistake when watch the video)

 

Maybe, I think the final article would be changed as a prototype which appear in a video.

I don't heard Tenshodo's item is more terrible than their prototype.

Having previously lived in Gunma, I should not have confused the two. 😂

Sorry, the final article "wouldn't" be changed.

 

Train name of Amagi is similar to Asama so it's confusing ha ha.

Tenshoto announced they'll be making the Suha 32/33 series in HO plastic, along with a rerun of the Mani 36 baggage cars.

I guess tenshodo would be going to release EF15 at the same time.

If that would come true, Modelers can reproduce a local train like chuo line.
