HobbySearch has posted some pretty amazing Tomix pre-orders over the last couple days.

 

Highlights (for me anyway)

 

[limited edition] Asahiyama Zoo Train (Renewal Paint)

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10241016

 

Already on pre-order for me.. since I'm trying to focus on Hokkaido (but not doing a great job, see below)

 

Tarumi Railway TDE11 (Unit 3)

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10241040

 

Tarumi Railway Series 14 Passenger Set (5 cars)

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10241042

 

I own the Tarumi TDE10 Box Set (Units 1 and 2) that Tomix released in 2006

Unit 3 and the Series 14 set are extremely tempting.. since I already have units 1 & 2..

Then you also need this one: http://www.1999.co.jp/10108757 ;)

I just post these to show how beautifully modelled these Hiroshima area KiHa 40's are! I can't see anything on the model that could possibly be done better, high grade Tomix really beats Kato.

The unmotorized cars look great but I don't like the underbody detail of the motor car: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10214796a/20/1

The large flat undetailed section really puts me off.

True that. Microace works around this problem by painting these parts black. When you don't look at it, you hardly notice the location of the motor car when you run your trains.

[Densha]

I don't think it's too bad; also considering that it also houses a large weight which does indeed make these models very stable. (I can tell you that because I have a JR Hokkaido Kiha 40, but I still need to look at fixing the motor) Not to forget the head and tail lights and the sign board is perfectly lightned with LEDs; again better than Kato's.

[Ochanomizu]

Beautiful colour scheme, isn't it?

[Densha]

Although not as beautiful as this JR West Hiroshima area colour, I really hope Tomix will someday do the KiHa 40 series in JR Shikoku colour. MicroAce has only done the Kiha 47 and no Kiha 40.

JR Hokkaido KiHa183 series "Marimo" express & JR West KiHa 40/47 in old colour: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/kettei/pdf/20131003-2.pdf

Double set EF63 and yet more container (cars): http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/kettei/pdf/20131003-3.pdf

JR Hokkaido KiHa183 series "Marimo" express & JR West KiHa 40/47 in old colour: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/kettei/pdf/20131003-2.pdf

 

This is interesting! It looks like a cross between the Kiha-183 Super Tokachi and the Kiha-183-2550 HET!

I don't know the details, but there will be a special edition Keihan 3000 series 3-car set Tomytec Collection available in some department stores on 12 October:

Tomix isn't really going to wait: http://www.jp-ngauge.info/ngi/2013/10/tomix201353-8cb4.html

 

[Densha]

Well that's very early. I don't think there's any difference between the E7 and W7 though.

Also, what are those Kiha 40's with little stickers on the fronts?

 

Also, Railway Collection 19 has been announced. This time it's a KiHa fest. These are fairly modern trains, which I don't mind because Tomytec has done enough old train types for a while.

http://www.jp-ngauge.info/ngi/2013/10/tomytec201353-60f4.html

 

And this Tomix Report of the EF210-300 looks good too: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/report/n/nj_165.htm

Thanks Densha! 

 

After looking at the 205 Tsurumi line... Perhaps i should get it? Can't wait for the Tomytec buses and BM-03 to be released! 

[miyakoji]

Also, what are those Kiha 40's with little stickers on the fronts?

They're on the Karasuyama Line, a JR East line, in Tochigi-ken. This is the line that's getting the EV-E301 battery-powered EMUs next year.

Hi, it seems that the Twilight Express in HO is ready, it looks very good...

 

See you.

All KiHa's this time and two of them have a special "painted" livery.
