Odakyu Romancecar 50000 VSE last run

🤔  another "last run".... well normally is not a strange thing, but this is the second time for me that I remember when I bought the first release and now is already time to say goodbye, the first case happened with the 700 series (Kato 500 and 700 when I started my japanese collection 23 years ago)

2 options: the train lifespan now is really short.... or I'm really too old to continue to play with trains 😋

white whale VSE reserved....

Poor Massimo, it’s definitely that Japanese trains’ lifespan is very short.

 

Edit: I'm adding the other full PDFs.

WHAAAAT!? Heresy! You are NEVER too old to play with trains!

 

Well, thought I was safe from any more new releases for a while...

C55 and Soya Line coach set now preordered at Hobbysearch. I'm not a Hokkaido modeller per se, but I can't resist a shiny new SL, especially when it's a type I've seen before (C55 1 in Kyoto). And passenger cars because I like passenger cars and don't have enough of them across my H0-gauge and N-gauge collections.

U31A Seino Transport Container

 

 Once again I can't understand Tomix's logic when it comes to some of their container releases, back in March Hogaraka Dou announced an October release for (C-2112) U31A-800 Seino containers with the unit numbers U31A-803 / 808/839, Tomix have announced their (3177) U31A Seino containers to be released in October as well with the following unit numbers  U31-803/ 839/889, given the Hogaraka Dou models where put up for reservation 2 months prior Tomix would have had ample knowledge and could have easily avoided duplicating numbers. The price difference between the two sets is ¥270, the Hogaraka Dou ones coming in at the higher price but that said Hogaraka Dou models are of a higher quality than the Tomix models, the fact that Hogaraka Dou also had their reservations out earlier means that they would have already snapped up a lot of potential customers before Tomix, especially those that are as pedantic as me who loathe duplication of unit numbers.

Two painted livery trains, one of which is my fav anime, what not to like!  🙂

 

The E233-3000 is also welcomed. I can finally complete my Shonan Shijuku/ Ueno Tokyo line with my 10 car E231-1000 coupled with a 5 car E233-3000~

Yap you got that right! How could one not love the Yuru Camp??? 

 

What's that by the way...  😛

[Kamome]

Not seen it myself but my friends daughter is absolutely mad on it. 

About some girls who go camping as far as it’s been explained to me.

Unironically one of the best (and manga) anime series to be released in the past 5 years, in my opinion. Great characters, excellent animation, great art, excellent seiyū, educational and above all incredibly relaxing (yuru), exactly as it says on the tin.

It most certainly isn't the psychological masterpiece that is Evangelion, but then again does Evangelion feature the legendary konnichiwa pinecone? Thought so, score 1 for Yuru Camp△.

 

Seriously though, If you're into slice of life/CGDCT(cute girls doing cute things)/iyashikei style anime/manga I would definitely recommend giving it a try, in my opinion it's up there with series like K-on, Non-Non Biyori, Flying Witch, Gochūmon wa Usagi desu ka, Konohana Kitan, Shōjō Shūmatsu Ryokō, New Game etc, in terms of quality.

 

It's so good it actually made me want to try solo camping... until I remembered I absolutely detest camping!
