Gordon Werner Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) new, from GreenMax for May release ● E653 system (fresh Hitachi, red) 7-car train set ● E653 system (fresh Hitachi Orange) 4-car train set ● E653 system (fresh Hitachi and green) 7-car train set PDF version: http://www.greenmax.co.jp/pdf/new_release_201601_01.pdf Edited January 19, 2016 by Gordon Werner 1 Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think many many people were anticipating the original E635 Series in Fresh Hitachi livery from Greenmax. A low-profile motor and a lower price than 2nd hand MicroAce sets will guarantee a definite hit! I'm kind of eyeballing the 4-car orange set now, since it occasionally ran as a single unit on the Mito line as a Special Rapid. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm eyeing this too, but I already got the older MA model... And they cant couple together I think.... Link to comment
railsquid Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That's a model of a typical "Lion's Mansion", a chain of rental apartments pretty ubiquitous throughout large parts of Japan. Google "ライオンズマンション" for pictures. Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks. Guessing they will be making and releasing it in 2016? Link to comment
railsquid Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 "Autumn 2016 or later". It'll be a completed structure not a kit, BTW. Oh, and correction: they also build apartments for sale. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Other labels are just details that they will reproduce the logo, texture and distinctive entrance on the model. Price not determined yet. Google image translate works well on this! Wonder if this will be easy to modify for kitbashing!? Would be great if they did it a floor at a time so you sealed them off for more fun lighting and easy expansion or contraction. But that would be a bit more plastic so I assume standard greenmax walls. Jeff Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Oh wow... The new releases of Green Max will excite katoftw I think: Kyushu cars galore! I'm kinda tempted by that Tobu 60000... Looks kinda cool ~~ Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That Tōbu 60000 is indeed cool! Finally it is announced! I'm kind of eyeballing that, but I shouldn't... I've never been on it and have only seen it from the window of JR East trains, though I love the front and colour scheme design. Even with a lack of red? Even with a lack of red... Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Excited is a understatement. Although disappointing to see the Standard and Nanohana versions 1500 yen more than the others. The 817 is a must! Cannot get them all. How to decide? haha Edited February 25, 2016 by katoftw Link to comment

Toni san you might just 'helped' me make a decision on that Tobu 60000 series.... :P I have only 3 Tobu trains, and is always aiming 4 to run them together on the layout... Excited is a understatement. Although disappointing to see the Standard and Nanohana versions 1500 yen more than the others. The 817 is a must! Cannot get them all. How to decide? haha Get them all! The colours on that Nanohana and the SSL is really beautiful... I CANNOT be tempted into Kyushu region.... Link to comment

Be careful though, as this train only runs on the Tobu Urban Park Line (Noda line). Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Be careful though, as this train only runs on the Tobu Urban Park Line (Noda line). Hhmmm.. means it wouldn't run together with the Tobu Spacia, the Tobu Ryomo and the Tobu 8000 series? That might swift the decision.... Now looking at that Kiha-200 SSL... I know it's Kyushu, but it looks REALLY good... Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hhmmm.. means it wouldn't run together with the Tobu Spacia, the Tobu Ryomo and the Tobu 8000 series? That might swift the decision.... The Tōbu 8000 runs with them in 6-car formation on the Noda Line and they meet up with the Spacia and Ryōmo at Kasukabe, so they're not entirely separate! ;) Link to comment

katoftw Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I might get the Nanohana version. I'd prefer to wait and get some Kiha 220-200s over these Kiha 200s. But there is no Nanohana Kiha 220. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 aarrrgghh... This video makes it harder to resist: Tobu has a switch-back? :) 2 Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Tobu has a switch-back? :) Kashiwa sta. (柏) ;) Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Funabashi to Omiya on one train? Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Funabashi to Omiya on one train? Just a few per day, but there are trains from Funabashi to Omiya with a switchback at Kashiwa. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Kashiwa sta. (柏) ;) We love... Kashiwa! HAha ~ The 'Professor' is holding that picture of the 60000 series which is again... tempting... This cute girl might actually helped me decide ....
