ToniBabelony Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 A quite clever and simple solution for tight corners for the articulated bus: 4 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Great idea! It's just like the same basis of driving a long vehicle like that articulated bus or a trailer, turn out left first and then turn right! Clever! Link to comment
cteno4 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I messed with the same idea of wide turns with the faller bus to make it around normal right angle regular corners on my Ttrak streetcar modules. Worked well to get them around corners, this was pre tomytec road, ht running fallen wire. Jeff Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wow great to see a still functional moving bonnet bus! Classic! 1 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I always wonder why these bus decals, commonly only sold in hobby shops in Japan, are so sought after and expensive: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f212706902 I cant find them anywhere else on online retail for us to purchase, and we could never win the Japanese on Yahoo Auctions... This would surely be of great use to the empty white shell buses (that came with the bus cases) we have and especially for those who suck big time in painting like myself...

JR 500系 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 We have a few number of articulated buses running here in Sillypore, but it's nice to see them in Nankai livery! Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Tomytec is releasing the Nankai Shuttle, which is a really nice painted bus! http://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/items/pdf/newitem_20170614_04.pdf Perfect! P.s. I find myself stepping into the HO region just for these 1/80 buses... First the Ibaraki Girls & Panzer; http://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/lineup/bus80/bus80_13.html Then come the Keisei Oideyo! Katsushika Kochikame bus: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/lineup/bus80/bus80_24.html Followed by their counterparts: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10465809 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10465810 Then the Kotoden bus: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10442407 Then this Nankai shuttle bus...

Bad news... Tempted by the girls und panzer one xD, might do so if they do it in 1:150 I missed the first release bus they did and have the coach, but that pink colour looks so nice! Link to comment

Oh dear, that first one is very highly sought after now... It probably costs a lot more, but that's one for sale now: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h266987095 It's not pink though, only the 1/80 ones are pink.... http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10266489 Being long sold out, you could also consider the Keisei Oideyo! Katsushika Kochikame bus which is also pink, but still available... http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10408855 Ami has them cheaper on sale: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=RAIL-21932&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dbus+collection+1%2F80%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Edited June 16, 2017 by JR 500系 1 Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 This is so nice! Thanks for sharing! Gotta love that Toei bus terminal! Something to try to reach building! Those inclines and declines are perfect too... boy there are just so many possibilities with self-made bus tracks! Those lighted traffic signals looks great too! 1 Link to comment

cteno4 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wow is that town well served by bus service or what! Nice modeling and shows the maneuverability of the busses. Jeff Link to comment
bill937ca Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not quite moving bus, but these boxy fire trucks are about the same size. Faller? 4 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Wow, but what no ladders or streams of water or helecopter rescues?! Yeah probably cut up faller mechs and also added some leds as well. They can be adapted to many trucks easily as the battery and such can fit in smaller spaces along with the steering mech. Jeff Link to comment
brill27mcb Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I don't think I recognize a single model building in that city! Rich K. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 There's a new bus up for order by Tomytec: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10478703 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10478703 Tachikawa do seem to have quite a large number of wrapping buses, like the Rillakuma for example... fun!

JR 500系 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Hey I outta try that pretty soon! But risk damaging the buses in the process... I think i'll pass... Looks pretty nice all nicely stacked up though ~ He does have a fairly large fleet of Toei buses, and quite a number of repeats from Bus 11... He must have gotten quite a lot of bus 11 boxes! I would use the bus 14 coaches as the base for the pyramid as they are much larger in size... Edited September 5, 2017 by JR 500系 1 Link to comment
