scotspensioner Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Sammy . There's an amusing story here.Early on I bought a 10-1177 Gold Band Asakaze to run with an EF510.Last year Hattons came up with a Hokutusei so that came here .It was followed a few months later by a damaged Cassiopeia which I use with a Cruise train pack to cover the two damaged end coaches.So I thought that's that.A couple of months ago I Spotted a Twilight Express EF81 on eBay locally but it got away. The week after my 70th birthday Hattons completed the trio with a mint Twilight Express to which I was able to acquire another EF81! So if you look at Pages 132/3 of the 2015 Kato catalogue ,the only thing I'm missing is the Asakaze add on set which I'm happy to leave! I think someone wanted me to get into this!!!

I must admit after all the talk and pictures on here I'm having a hard time not Ordering the Twilight Express, but then I remember that I'm going over to Japan in around 3 months time and I'll get to look round all the amazing train shops there. 4 Link to comment

Yeah, it is hard. I am on a self-imposed moratorium and am also having a hard time on that one... Link to comment

It's amazing looking. But I have a lot of purchases coming up including a Kitty, two ICEs, and a B-Shorty for the boy. Plus, honestly, I had never even heard of or seen this train until a few weeks ago. I just need to mentally set the clocks back a few weeks. Link to comment

To be honest you'll probably be able to get a much better deal on it too, maybe even find the earlier release second-hand provided it's in good shape. I may order the EF-81, the older Tomix one I have pulling mine just looks kind of sad. Link to comment

It’s such a nice model and one of my favourite (not so blue) blue trains. Would be nice if Kato or Roundhouse produced EF65 1124 in TE colours just as a little update. I know Tomix produced this already. Link to comment

On the other hand, if you look at it from a distance, a larger distance, then it looks ok in it's native scenery: Also note the two diesel exhaust marks on the two cars behind the locomotive. Those are the diesel generator cars. 1 Link to comment
