keitaro Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Got this today along with the toei 5000 new paint + addon. I didn't want the other addons included for this set just this. While I have not run the model yet it is really quite well detailed as well as the interior. I will update the running performance but i'm sure it is great as it is with all other new tomix models. The motor car comes with the door acessories uninstalled so the user can add them both or just the one if they are running with or without the other alps sets. Packaging is a small box with an cover over that with each models in a seperate plastic case. the model includes special tn couplers including the cabling in the detail as per pictures below. The undercarriage detail is just awesome and the motor unit is quite low and still has some reasonable interior detailing compared to many other models. Link to comment

I am at the point where my models take up more room than my layout :shock: Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 At least now I know why you're so interested in my storage yard thread I've been trying not to order more and wait for my pre-orders to come in, but it's difficult :) Link to comment

IF i hadn't disciplined my self i would have ordered 6 steamers i have been looking at from the UK. the e2 set and e4 set from tomix, and the new MA skyliner not to mention the 2 sets of kintestu 10100 a + b and c.... Don't even get me started on realline steamers lucky for me none are in stock in HS for a long time. Though i will be in japan for 6 weeks and intend to come back with a few. Luckily for me, my mariage and my life i did not :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Right now, I have another Sankei Ghibli house underway, as well as the Hayato no Kaze train. Expected this month is the full E1 shinkansen, Asahiyama Zoo train, and the Kawai double snow plow set. For April there's yet another Sankei Ghibli kit, July will see the 183-1000 Aso Boy, August the Tobu series 100 Spacia (original color), and then whenever World Kougei feels like releasing it, the 20tC Mitsui wharf tank locomotive. Hmm.. That actually sounds like a lot less then I feared, I may need to remedy that =) Link to comment
keitaro Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 hah i have 2 of the c class steamers on order that mitsui one and the release after that forget now I'm still trying to build the hitachi the gears don't work it's like i was given the wrong parts ... I'm thinking next week i will spend a whole 9pm to 1am trying to work it out but i have not been able to round up the energy...
