Tomix overhead tracks, station & tram questions

[bill937ca]

Anyone runs a tram on the 103 curves?!

 

 

All the time.  Although early Modemo articulated trams pre-date the C103 curves.

Thanks a lot guys, sorry for asking too many questions.

Is there a place I could see the radii tolerance of the trains?!

 

I plan on buying either the Modemo Enoden 100 (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10123538) or Tosaden 600 (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10111547) as I like an old style better for what I plan to make. Is it Ok on 103 curves?

I've run my Tosaden 600s on C103 tracks without problem and the Enoden 100 would run also.  But note the 600 is a street loading car and the Enoden 100 is a platform loading car only ( as Enoden legally is a railway).

Thanks a lot!! :-)

True, thanks for pointing this out!

There is a C103 capable Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd railbus coming from Tomix.

Bill, are you sure it's C103 capable? The logo on the Tomytec page is the "Mini" logo, which usually indicates C140 and C177. They also have a "Super-Mini" logo, which indicates C103.

 

At least, that's how I understand it.

[bill937ca]

Ooops,  it is C140 and C177.  I saw the logo and was thinking all small radius. Forgot about the S logo. For anyone not familiar with the logos they are both shown in the web page below.

Thanks Martijn.

[Tecchan]

Too bad, thanks anyway! ^_^

I still not decided what to do lol... I take my time but I have lots of other things on my mind nowadays...

 

I'm also making a plan for my (tram) layout, it's getting nice, I'll share it with you guys.

 

It's a good thing I took my time because my girlfriend offered to buy me my trams for my birthday next week. Best of all, se sayed "Oh, that's not too expensive, you can take two!"

Where do you people get all those wives/girlfriends ?! 

[disturbman]

I'm sure, in a Kinder egg of some sort.

[Tecchan]

That's it! ^_^

 

My birthday order is ordered!

I picked a Kato silver Centram in the end, even if I was more on a older looking tram it's design is really nice.

Rather than a second tramway, I choose to order all the tracks I needed for my layout and even some scenery (vending machines and people).

I'll purchase the rest of the scenery I need for my layout later, but at least I have my loop and I can run my tram.

 

My girlfriend is so cool!  

Can't wait to receive my parcel (SAL shipping).
