What did you order or the post deliver? (Japanese N Gauge)

[TheNicofabi]

Nice ~ The first parcel with trains is always the one you will remember... I still remembered mine with the Tomix 321 series ~  :)

 

I see another has gotten the Keihan K-On bug!  :)

Well... its K-On! but i nearly got all of the Keihan Trams so i had to buy them lol...

 

Nice haul, I especially like the magazine and KUMOHA12.

Yes, the KuMoHa 12, only reason i wanted it is because somehow started to get interested in the Tsurumi Line lol

 

//Edit:

Welp... my last shipment for this year and with that also the completition of my Keihan-Otsu Line Tram Collection \o/... well unless they release new ones... then i gotta get another shipment...

Nothing new or spectacular, but I always wanted one of these:

 

so when one came up cheap on Yahoo Japan Auctions I was unable to resist. Stupidly I didn't notice until after winning that the reason for the cheapness was that it was advertised as "junk", with the additional bits like pantograph missing. However while tidying up last night I noticed something moving around inside the box, and after taking the padding out, tucked away inside were the pantograph and an unused sheet of decals :D

Do nt you just love it when that happens? Nice one mate.

A Kato train case arrived for my 165 Series:

 

 

The KuMoYuNi has taken the remaining slot, as it's original packaging isn't suitable for repeated opening and closing. The 165 Series intermediate cars aren't in here as the Kato jewel cases are more robust than the card-and-polystyrene boxes the three car sets came in.

Mine is also paid. Just waiting for the shipping notice!!!

[JR 500系]

Also got my East-I coming in pretty soon ~ Cant wait for the Doctor of the East to arrive after a really long wait for its return!

 

Recently got a small parcel from AmiAmi for some more layout parts.. The Kato platforms are seriously getting interesting...  :)

[Welshbloke]

Managed to track down a SaRo 455 for sane money. I'd rather have had the one with the green stripe, but it's better than not having one at all. My 457 Series will now be vaguely realistic, if rather shortened compared to the diagrams Kato put on the back of the box!

Just waiting for my invoice from Nariichi-san for the two new Modemo Arakawa trams (orange and purple) and some Kato Unitram stuff - I want to build something completely new and different for me that I can easily take to shows. I'm planning a Unitram loop with extensions off each side.

[katoftw]

Good to here you are alive and kicking Ken.  You have been awol for far too long.  And I'm curious to how some of your projects are coming along.

Railsquid that looks great! What train is it? I need one of those!

 

Cheers eh,

That's a Modemo Tokyo Toden 6000-kei tram. Mechanically a very nice little model and runs smoothly over points; the body is mounted a bit higher than it should be, so it looks a bit odd if you compare it to photos of the protoype running on street tracks, but as I don't have any yet it's not a problem ;).

 

Tomytec also have a version.

Thank you! It's been a rough year, but I'm trying to get back in the saddle and start modeling again.

[enodenlover]

Welcome back Ken, hope 2016 is a better year for you.

[Ken Ford]

Thank you!

Sorry to hear that.  I did not know you have been having a rough year.  I just assumed you were busy or had enough of the interent.  Good luck for the future.  Your Keifuku and Nishikigawa works is what tickled my fancy.

A small parcel from HS arrived before Christmas so I can attempt to complete the long overdue layout... Nothing fanciful, just some missing track pieces...

I'll get back to both of those projects but need something simple to get back into it.

I ordered 2 Railfan magazines from Hobby Search about 1 month ago, now they arrived. I ordered issue nr. 2015/12 due to the E235 series but it contains a nice, small diary, while issue 2016/01 was bought due to the calendar. I think the magazines were overprotected a little...

 

[enodenlover]

The four packages that I've been waiting for all showed up within the past two weeks so I've got a lot of new stuff to find space for, guess I'll have to buy another of those big plastic storage tubs right away. My latest acquisitions:

Good Haul!

 

I tend to forget Plaza Japan, which is good for some hard to get and otherwise discontinued items...

 

I know what you mean, but having McDonald's is already a luxury, we are having Instant Noodles!  :)

[railsquid]

Instant noodles? Decadence. Here at Chez Railsquid we're reduced to chewing on discarded Tetsu-kore packaging.
