KenS Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Over on the Prototypes "Black Ships Train" thread, Bernard asked me to post photos of my Micro Ace model when it arrived. Due to the combination of paypal payment and the long weekend, it took over a week to arrive, but showed up this morning. Without further ado, here it is: BTW, the photo's really don't do the model justice. It's an incredibly lustrous black, shiny but with some depth to it. In addition to the head and tail lights, the destination board (the white rectangle between the headlights) on both ends also lights up. Photo 1: cab, in close up Photo 2: cab and second car Photo 3: cars 3-5 Photo 4: cars 6 - 8 2 Link to comment

Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 That is gorgeous... Hmm, I model Tokyo area, I already have the Kato Resort 21 and HW seem to have one in stock (well maybe, can never tell with them!). Too late, pulled the trigger I'll see what happens early next week... I also see that Tokyo Rail have one in stock...perhaps a little steep at $309.00 though... Link to comment
rankodd Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Give me back my traaaaiiiin! :) Seriously, it looks like a very nice model. I'm even more jealous now that I've seen your description of it. Hope you enjoy it :) Link to comment
KenS Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I hadn't thought of it last year, but I just realized that there was some video of my Black Ships train in operation in my Busy Day video. It's only two short segments, but it still gets the feel of the train in operation across very nicely. 2 Link to comment
