N Gauge Model of the Fukai Railroad Fukuram F1000

[Concept Model Trains]

As I was looking for videos of the Fukai Fukuram F1000, I came across the details of a N gauge version of this 3 section LRV.  A modified Tomytec TM-LRT01 was used for the model.  There is also some photos of a small layout that was made of the Fukai Railway. It would be great if either Kato or Tomix decide to create a version of the tram for commercial release.

Tomytec is actually planing a three-part tram chassis: https://picasaweb.google.com/ngauge.information/20130516522013TOMYTEC?authkey=Gv1sRgCPGU8J_eif_qmQE#5879588538220217538

But I think the Fukei F1000 has longer cars so they would need to come up with more new chassis'.

I would like to see a three part tram from Kato/Tomix. My little layout would love it! :)

nice to see this expanding! hopefully everyone has learned from modemo's disaster with the green mover! I ran my hodie green mover this weekend and it runs wonderfully, very slow, but it does overheat with longer running and also starts slowing down. thinking i need to open it up to see about some lubing. decided not to even attempt the modemo green mover as its just totally cranky in all ways. articulation at n scale is a challenge!

 

love the kitbash of the portrams. would be nice to see how they hacked up the chassis units. doh! click the links jeff...
