Me too! though I wonder about the price... at the rate Tomytec is going... and we have to factor in motor chassis, wheel chassis set and pantograph spares to add on...

 

It's too bad about the price indeed. For a fully upgraded model, you might even just shell out a bit more for an RTR model from Greenmax... I'll probably just leave it be.

Just noticed that the Marine Liner (and E235 and Shikoku KiHa 181) isn't High Grade, which means having to get TN couplers separately as well. I really don't like these prices for what you get...

Has the price of the E235 been announced already?

Even though I kinda stopped collecting Keihan trains a while ago, completing my collection with the 700 in old livery is still tempting...

 

And very good to see the Tetsudou Collection finally going abroad! Tomytec can reuse the LRT04 power unit because the Fukui F1000s were basically based on these Adtranz trams. Hopefully we'll also see Siemens Avenio trams in the future from Tomytec considering that they also have this bogie layout.

I would assume these are meant to complement the already released european articulated buses. Imho it's a good idea and there is a market for it. The 2 bogies and 3 section jackobs articulated units are already in use by multiple european manufacturers to power their shells.

Wow, that is a surprise with the German trams! I actually bought one of the Fukurams as I thought it would make a candidate for respraying into BVG yellow (one day when I have time for such fun).

 

The announcement says they'll be selling these in Europe, and the tone sounds like it might not be a one-off.

 

Now, how about some Tatras?

The prototype was already shown in the MIBA magazine a few months ago.

 

Tatras would be great!

I took another look at these, and the small map of Germany actually also clearly shows Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Bonn and Frankfurt on the map. Maybe this is a sign that we'll see trams from these cities as well?! Although it can also be just for decoration.

Hmm, although I would love some Stadtbahn and Tram cars from Bonn, I think it's probably just for orientation, I don't think there's much demand for such :(  (+ the Trams have a weird wheel arrangement which I think Tomytec doesn't have a motor kit of)

 The Shikoku colors look pretty good on the KiHa 181, might have to get one...

I'm interested in the JR Shikoku KiHa 58 and KiHa 181 that are to be released in January, but Tomix is also releasing the Marine Liner in December and it's just going to be too expensive to get them all...

I'd almost say it'd be wishful thinking, but boy, do would I like a Stadtwerke Bonn tram of any kind (lived there for five years and met my wife there). Any odd Stadtbahn B-wagen will do as well. I do sincerely hope for Tomix to do something like this, because I'm about on that point to revise my own 3D models and print those. Maybe it'd be a good idea to have a talk with a representative at the JAM for info in two weeks. :P

What is with the new MB* bus collection?  Repeats or some form of special collection?

 

I'm wondering too... apparently it's a 'My Machi Bus Collection'... or my city bus collection... I wonder why... will this also mean that the All Island Bus collection (JB) series will be ending soon?

 

Nevertheless, it's my duty as a bus collector to get all the buses available, so I think i'll start to collect these also.... Although most of the bus models do clash and have already been released with the existing All Island bus collection...

 

I'm very much excited about bus collection 23 though: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10483511

Look at that Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa model! lovely!

 

Also, 2 new types of bus sets came up:

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10483536

3 tour bus set from Toyko

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10483592

And a first, 8-tour bus set! But ouch the price....

 

Lastly, another Girls & Panzer bus: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10483594

Apparently it's the N scale version of the previously released HO scale version: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/lineup/bus80/bus80_13.html

I just checked the number plate for the Fukuoka bus, and it is different to the old release.  Other than that little detail, I cannot find a difference.

Actually, I don't see much difference between these new releases and the older ones except for the most obvious difference in color... basically, I think they are the same mould just different coloring... I do hope this doesn't continue to be the tread as we do hope to see newer models being released...

 

same with the buses... it's ok to have the same mould but different coloring (or company liveries), but surely not the same moulding and same bus company coloring, like the All Island Bus collection and the new My Machi collection...

They do release variants on existing buildings at regular intervals, which is useful if you want a number of similar but not identical ones.
