linkey Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Funny things you read on HSJ lol Edited December 27, 2013 by linkey Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Reading at the product description on HS: '- Connecting portion, adopted diaphragm coupler of adoption, such as N700A · E5 · E6-based system. A realization basisI realize precise connection, the stable running.' Does this mean.... POWERED couplers? Or do they mean something else? Cause it reads precise connection, stable running... But it also reads added coupler of adoption such as N700A, E5 and E6. The three mentioned has the tilting mechanism installed, so are we talking about tilting mechanism here or powered coupler? Power coupler will mean BIG news to Kato fans! Link to comment
kvp Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 More like that the diaphragms and the couplers are one piece and move together. This means the two connected diaphragms are always flush. Of course I wonder what kind of compensation is used so one car can't twist the other off the tracks in S curves or on switches when the tilting mechanisms try to tilt the cars in the opposite directions. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/KATO-10-1174-JR-Shinkansen-NOZOMI-Series-N700A-Basic-4-Car-Set-N-Scale-New-/00/s/MTA2MVgxNjAw/z/g9YAAOxyzi9SiF2p/$_57.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/t/KATO-10-1174-JR-Shinkansen-NOZOMI-Series-N700A-Basic-4-Car-Set-N-Scale-New-/00/s/MTA2MVgxNjAw/z/2XQAAOxyTjNSiF2o/$_57.JPG (adding power couplers manually to the sides of the couplers seems possible with 2 micro pin connectors) Link to comment
katoftw Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Same as the Kato 500 series. The couplers is independent of the bogies, so cornering isn't an issue. Link to comment
NEX-989 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) BAM!!!Basic Set + 6 Car Addon!!! Edited December 28, 2013 by NEX-989 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 BAM!!! Basic Set + 6 Car Addon!!! ? Why not get the 3-car addon too? Besides, the 3-car basic set doesn't come with a hard cover bookcase box, and can be placed into the 3-car addon hard cover bookcase box.. If you get a 3 + 6 you'll end up with the basic without the bookcase box... Link to comment
macdon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 For awhile there, I thought the basic 6-car set was going for $85 only ............. yes, a typo obviously. But darn, that'll be the deal of the year! :) Mardon Link to comment
