scott Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I think I've found something to make up for the utter unfindability of the "2nd Niigata" 115--the green version of the 165 Moonlight has about the same colors, but much more of the greens: http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/kat10-448b.aspx Link to comment
jappomania Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi Scott, you find all the 3 version (green, red and brown) at Rainbowten at less price 6300JPY item 10-448/449/450 ask to Mr.Nao.... ciao Massimo Link to comment
scott Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Oh, I already had my eye on those--same place I got my 455 Green Liner for 5500. :-) Link to comment
disturbman Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 You really are desperate Scott! Did you look up the Yahoo Auctions? Link to comment
scott Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well, not really desperate. The 165 was just a pleasant discovery. It has the same basic color scheme as the 115 I wanted, it runs in the same region (based in Niigata, but running a longer route, to Tokyo in this case), and I just like the color combination. Normally I prefer warmer colors, but for some reason this combination just appeals to me. I didn't mean to come across as unhinged about it; just enjoying the variety. Link to comment
Bernard Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Scott - I have the Brown version of the Moonlight, it's a nice little train. Link to comment
scott Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 See, Vince--Bernard likes it, and *he's* not unhinged. :-) Thanks, Bernard--always nice to hear a good review before ordering something. Link to comment

scott Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I wouldn't advise tying your emotions to mine that directly. :-P Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 What were we talking about again!? I forgot. :coffee: Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It runs from Niigata to Tokyo, huh? Know anything more specific? Where does it terminate? Shinjujku? Oomiya? Ueno? (See where this is going?) Link to comment
scott Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 After a little big of digging, it looks like it terminates at Shinjuku. Link to comment
scott Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 And...according to JNSwiki, it uses platforms 5/6, same as the Odoriko, Akagi, Narita Express, etc. Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 After a little big of digging, it looks like it terminates at Shinjuku. Figured. Thanks for digging for me! (and saving me another item for the wishlist!) Link to comment
