Especially attracted to 16 since it is one of the rarest! No worries mate, I probably cant afford it right now and wont know what to do with all those many buses! Do beware of the shipping though, it seems to be like 3kg for the entire box… Let me in if you get the boxes and didn't know what to do with the buses you don't like! 😛 Link to comment

Did you search in Japanese? I can't get results like that no matter what search words I used. I tried using Google Translate. And I also tried just searching "Tomytec" by itself. Very few results.

Another way is to use Tomytec's website itself: https://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/index.html depending on what you want to search, for buses, I always use バスコレ (Bus Corre) which is most often used by Japanese as it is the short form of ザ・バスコレクション (The Bus Collection)… Add in 第XX弾 (collection number XX) to specifically find that collection you need, like 第11弾 etc. Link to comment

JB041: Hino QDG-KV290N1 (Blue Ribbon II), Yokohama Municipal Transportation Bureau JB042: Mitsubishi Fuso PKG-MP35UM (Aero Star), Gifu Bus Along with this and a 1/80 Kanachu QSG-HL2ANAP ひ114 (reg. 湘南200か1976). Interesting to see a full-length bus in 1/80. (Although I think there was another of these in Hino demo colors at some point earlier.) I managed to get two JB041-2's. I want to add a motor to is to have the bus move around automatically. However I am struggling to find out which motor unit I need. The BM-02 does not fit.. In all I am struggling to find which motor unit fits in which bus. The site that allows to contact Tomytec is not responding. Who can help me with that? Thanks! Link to comment

The site that allows to contact Tomytec is not responding. Who can help me with that? Thanks! Tomytec Website is your best friend. It doesn't look like the JB041-2 allows any of the motor chassis at all, in fact, all of the 日野ブルーリボン ノンステップバス type doesn't... You can see that the wheel base from front to rear wheel is a lot further apart... unlike most BM-01 or BM-02 models. For example, https://www.tomytec.co.jp/diocolle/lineup/bus_zenkoku/zenkoku021.html You can see the JB045 has a BM-02R printed on its side, meaning it is compatible with BM-02R, but the JB046 doesn't, meaning it doesn't have any compatible motor chassis, much coincidentally, is the same 日野ブルーリボン ノンステップバス model as your JB041-2 models...

Many thanks for this. However it's a bit weird because the wheel base of my JB041-2 is exactly 35 mm as well. The description also says that the true wheelbase is 5300 mm, same as the JB045. So what you are saying is that unless the packaging includes a reference to a motor unit. the bus cannot be motorised? Link to comment

I would think so, since Tomytec would usually add in a BM chassis motor logo on the packaging if it is compatible, like so... It's still motorizable, just that modification might be required, like sanding the wheel arcs of the buses, since the true base is 5300 so technically it might fit just that probably the wheel arc are pushing down on the chassis wheel...

Still not sure on the status of my Hello Kitty Shinkansen, but yeah it coming out at Christmas isn't perfect.

AlanL Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Got a few of the buses a few year back but got sidetracked with the hobby. Went over to Hobby Search to order up some more and noticed that there are many new releases but they no longer give the recommended power chassis. Anyone know how to determine what chassis to order now? Also does anyone know where one could obtain the bus catalog? Sure would like to have one. Thank you Alan in the US Link to comment

Thank you Alan in the US Welcome to the world of buses, where one bus is never enough! more often than not, Tomytec website would be able to provide the information regarding which chassis you will need, they will often be either BM-01 or BM-02, since BM-03 is only for the tour buses which are much longer in wheel bases... As for the bus catalogue, HS is your best bet for these books, with this book being my personal favourite... otherwise, Japan Yahoo Auctions might also be a great place to shop for these books, although they are usually not cheap and shipping adds up fast due to their weight ~ Link to comment
katoftw Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I find myself with too many buses. None power and just static. Edited October 25, 2018 by katoftw Link to comment
