katoftw Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 More containers for the Koki collection, UM8A, 20B and 20' Tank Containers. Is that all? I see a complete lack of commitment to freight. Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Is that all? I see a complete lack of commitment to freight. Thats just a top up for the 120 odd I have at the moment, plus I have some more on the way Edited January 30, 2016 by Das Steinkopf Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Make that 140 odd Edited January 30, 2016 by Das Steinkopf Link to comment
TheNicofabi Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Not really Japanese... but i did get it from Marcin's sale... so i'd call that something, and i finaly got a powerpack lol 4 Link to comment
railsquid Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Given that the Swiss stuff is the only non-Japanese stock actively marketed in Japan (i.e. included in the Japanese catalogue, available through all the usual distribution channels), you could count it as honorary Japanese ;). 3 Link to comment
Pauljag900 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Nothin special,Kato locco shed and Denny's diner but at least now it more or less completes the station. 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Operating a model railway can be logistically tricky, which is why I have parts shipped direct from the manufacturers by rail. Most recent addition to the rake is this MicroAce tank wagon bringing fresh supplies of "Rule 1 Fluid". 2 Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ordered this test print in an experimental E-Dentstone for silicone casting: Let's see how this is going to work out. 3 Link to comment
enodenlover Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You found a Lawson store? Lucky you, I've been trying to find an affordable one for months. Sure wish Tomix would re-release this one. 1 Link to comment
nah00 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Of all places I found one at my LHS. Stickers are a bit faded but not too bad. Also let me tell you how much I hate Jamaica, NY. 2 packages sitting there for 3 days now. Link to comment
Sascha Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 E-Bay. And it was only $15. Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Found one for cheap. Nice find. You found a Lawson store? Lucky you, I've been trying to find an affordable one for months. Sure wish Tomix would re-release this one. And 7-11 also. 1 Link to comment
enodenlover Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I did a search on eBay earlier today and while there are a few Lawson stores currently up for bid the prices are way beyond what I'm willing to pay. The cheapest was $70+ and the highest was around a hundred bucks. Even if I could afford to pay that I wouldn't because the item simply isn't worth it. Guess I'll just keep hoping that Tomix re-releases it in the not too distant future, and the same goes for the 7-11. Apparently the 3F version is the only one currently available. Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The Family Mart one is relatively cheap still. But it has been 2-3 years since a production run. So we much be due for another. Link to comment
nah00 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 One package did show up today. Most excited about the special Sanriku DMU, Yanmar containers, and my first Sankei kit, a little shrine. 3 Link to comment
Sascha Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Nice find. And 7-11 also. Yeah. Searching for one. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yeah. Searching for one. There's an alternative option though, one can buy the 3F store which is still available and play with the decals to make a Lawson one or a 7-11 one. The decals are mostly what differentiate them apart, aside from the 7-11 one bearing the slightly more unique red bricks wall... My little amateur creation of a Family Mart store at an overhead station ~ :P 3 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Not any trains, but a very, very nice 30 year old bottle of vintage port from an old friend! Nice surprise!Jeff Edited February 4, 2016 by cteno4 4 Link to comment

I have a lot of Tomytec/Tomix offices/multi floor city buildings in transit. Will be doing the same. Cos you dont find the carpark style stores in the middle of the city normally. Suburbs yes, city no. Link to comment
Robert46 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 My little amateur creation of a Family Mart store at an overhead station ~ :P Well, that one looks good anyway.. play with printing and clear plastic and basic building sounds good.. Link to comment
nah00 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Also word of advice: don't try putting the Popendetta tanks on a Kato Koki car. The adapter seems designed for the Tomix car. Link to comment

I even thanked the seller for putting it out so cheap. :) 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 A Kato EF58 arrives from Yahoo Auctions in quite a nice livery, to save me looking, anyone know what it is? 3 Link to comment
