to2leo Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Amazing news. :o I am thinking the mysterious model manufacturer will be MicroAce but it can be Tomix.... Link to comment
Bernard Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 This is exciting news. I also wondering like the blog writer if the ears will be fuctional (added cost to the model). Are those the molds for the prototype that are on display (or what are they?) Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The first thing that pops into my mind, if those ears are movable, would it be possible to motorize them using some mini-servo type thing.. Guess it'll be difficult =) Link to comment

Sushi Train Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 the 360 will never happen IMO, some HO versions where made for rail museum layouts though Link to comment
SubwayHypes Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 sorry to hijack, but i love the way that Nankai 6100 looks, like to2leo said it can almost pass for an american subway train circa 1980s. Link to comment

bill937ca Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Somebody was searching for Nankai Railway yesterday on my blog. This should help that person. http://www.jtw.zaq.ne.jp/sugitani/ Link to comment

Actually Tokyu Corporation has built subway cars for Cleveland GCTRA which uses pantographs just like Japanese lines. Tokyu also has an active used car business. Toyohashi Railway has some older Tokyu cars. http://hisaai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/Toyohashi/car_eg.html Link to comment
