Gordon Werner Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Looks like Keihan will be slightly modifying the ad-wrap on 705F-706 in support of the new Chihayafuru movie Link to comment

Anyway, these are the changes: Hamaotsu -> Biwako-Hamaotsu Otsu-shiyakusho -> Otsu-shiyakusho-mae Ojiyama -> Keihan-Otsukyo Sakamoto -> Sakamoto-Hieizanguchi These unrequired name changes start on the 17th. Although one correction, it is Bessho -> Otsu-shiyakusho-mae https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/28378863_1838318286220144_7542985993763160064_n.jpg?oh=6f96101709f20cb4d12f1df8b6298efe&oe=5B3E7431 Edited March 12, 2018 by cteno4 Link to comment

What a massive waste of money, btw. Edited March 12, 2018 by cteno4 1 Link to comment
Gordon Werner Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Keihan is wrapping another 600 series train for Hibike! Euphonium ... (617F-618) design in this link: http://www.keihan.co.jp/traffic/specialtrain-goods/euphonium/event/photosession.html Edited March 15, 2018 by Gordon Werner 2 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 My first glance at that wrapping I thought it was the design with the open door and girls walking out and thought I wonder how many people looking at their cell phones while walking and running into the picture of the open door... jeff 2 Link to comment

Gordon Werner Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I have heard that TomyTec will be releasing the new Hibike! Euphonium train ... but not whether it will be a general release (makes sense) or a special gotta-be-there-in-person-to-buy-it release. (they might do a special box for the latter like they did for the second Tetsudo Musume release) Edited March 24, 2018 by Gordon Werner Link to comment

That's a bit steep. Does not provide illumination inside the car? Link to comment
katoftw Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) It used to be 5000. Considering that if you add that to the cost of the 2 cars, trailer, pantographs and motor unit with these head and tailights. It totals around 10,000-11,000. Not as good as Kato or Tomix. But better than Micro Ace and Greenmax. You'd also need another 950 yen in collector parts. M +T collector parts. Greenmax charge 1500-2000 for their directional lighting modules (each).
