BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) There seems to be a new infatuation every time I discover a new facet of Japanese railways. I remember seeing the yellow maintenance trains on the sidings as I took the Yamanote line around Tokyo and again while riding the Shinkansen. When searching for maintenance vehicles, I found this picture of a yellow small engine with crane but haven't been able to find the exact model of the engine and flat car. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/wakayama-japan-nov-2018-yellow-rails-1255552129 I've discovered this website that lists 3000+ maintenance train vehicles in Japan but I haven't been able to narrow it down. http://mcdb.sub.jp/forums/search/Tmc/page/7/ Maybe a variation of the TCM100/200/300/400/500 versions? (shown in blue/green/yellow?) Edited February 18, 2022 by BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Link to comment

BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Found the general variant. MR-16xx this version below is the MR1655 specifically http://mcdb.sub.jp/forums/topic/mjk_mr1655_102795_山陽_mc201/ Link to comment
BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 I believe I've found the ballast car. It is a three-ton dump truck made by Matsuyama Heavy Vehicle. https://blog.cnobi.jp/v1/blog/user/72ea690d75e896661287aef291acb802/1462434930 Link to comment
BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 I am now searching for technical drawings for these two vehicles so I can design them in CAD. Line drawings; front, top, or profile views; engineering drawings would be very helpful. Even general dimensions like length, width, height would be welcome. Thank you everyone Link to comment
BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Found the same model, just different number. And it has a PDF with drawings 😁 time to get busy designing a 1/8 scale model. 36" long. http://mjk21.co.jp/seihin/kido.html Edited February 20, 2022 by BarracudaRCBoatsUSA Link to comment
