miyakoji Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 These were operated as 10-car consists, so I'm guessing there are two sets shown here at Niigata East Port... I wonder how much life is left in these, taking into consideration the maintenance that they're (not) going to get. Depends on standards, I suppose. Link to comment
Nozomi4ever Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 In response.. This is how the trains are brought to Niigata.. Link to comment
rpierce000 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This would be really cool to model. I can see the DE10s "pulling" the 203s to the port. I wonder how they keep them from getting rusty on the way? I know that is a major issue with a lot of sea travel. Link to comment
westfalen Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I wonder how they keep them from getting rusty on the way? I know that is a major issue with a lot of sea travel. Stainless steel. It's a pity the Japanese loading gauge is larger than ours even though the track gauge is the same, some nice, well maintained second hand Japanese trains might be more reliable than our brand new ones.

Japanese loading gauge is not much larger than the UK I thought Australia was nearing the USA in size? Link to comment

As we have got three different gauge rails in Australia. i know Victoria has all three lol. Link to comment
