bill937ca Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Two EMS orders from Hobby Search. One arrived and was held at the post office. The tracking marks the bigger order as delivered but not to me, without a signature and is missing. This has never happened before. I've searched around the building, but no sign of it. I'll report it to Hobby Search tomorrow (per Canada Post instructions) but there won't be any action until they get back from Winter Holiday in 2017. Smaller order is a couple of Tomytec items and some items from the tools section. Bigger order was Tomix track to finish the layout and 3 B-Train Shorty boxes plus a book. IMG_4752 1024 x 768.jpg To my great relief, my missing order showed up on the tracking again today after being delivered to the wrong person and signed for on Friday by the wrong person! I scooted down to the post office and picked up my box a couple of hours ago.The box is fine and everything is in order. WHEW! Now to finish the track on my layout, probably Thursday morning.

yakumo381 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Presents to myself brought back from Japan - "my" nameplate and a silver JR service award... 5 Link to comment
nscalestation Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Post just delivered my Christmas present to myself. Tomix 169 Series 3 car set decorated for Shinano Railway in their red and silver scheme. Surprised how fast it got here, and for only $3.99 shipping. Ordered it on Amazon right after Christmas and got here in 10 days. Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Kumoni 143-5 and Kumoha 123-5 by Tomytec arrived, along with a Saro 163 and the two Kumoyuni 82-800s by Kato. I've modified the skirts on the Kumoni to attach them to coupler mounts, so when the motorised chassis arrives it can run solo or tow unpowered EMUs. Waiting for Kumoyuni 147-1 which will also be motorised, 123-5 will get the same treatment when the Tomix pantographs come back into stock (as I'd rather bundle an order of those with the final chassis I need). And I think I've bagged a powered Kato Kumoya 90 after much searching, as long as the ebay seller actually has them in stock. I've a horrible feeling that I tried to buy something from them last year and it turned out they didn't have one to sell, despite having listed. See what turns up in my inbox! Might do a thread about my growing collection of post/luggage units if anyone's interested, I also have the Greenmax kit for a Kumoni 83 on the way. 1 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Collected 2 boxes dropped off from Ami during the festive season yesterday... One of them contains... Ami always has new postcards! Tomix 189 series M50 formation, the Holiday Rapid Fujisan/ Kawaguchi, together with the Toden Arakawa Line Yellow on sale and 2 TN couplers for front end carriages.... The 189 series M50 looks great! The colour is nice, and the exchangeable headmark is fun! Basically any trains running on the Chuo line always appeals to me... As a HG set, the TN couplers are very much welcomed, and they come with a ton of parts to install on the train... The Yellow Arakawa line is so cute! Glad this was on sale and decided to grab it quick! The other box contains the E653-1000 Inaho, which was really expensive but very nice... and the Tomytec tent on sale and Kato road signs E653-1000 Inaho colours really appeals! The bright lines and orange background just works for me! This newer model has headmark already printed! Finally I have the E653-1000 Inaho! :) 5 Link to comment
NB1231 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The holidays brought a few goodies to the layout. (Definitely a work in progress). Anyways, a couple people were listening in to my interest with the TGV duplex new color, definitely love this paint scheme and glad that I have added these to my collection. Other family members were listening in on my request for domestic Amtrak equipment, and even a special one ;) I've wanted the veterans P42 for a while now, so I got the Amtrak starter set and now the veterans P42 by Kato, which I might add is a stunning paint scheme!

1954G Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A lovely pair of TGV Duplexes. Have you coupled the two consists together yet? The noses on the latest Kato TGVs (Duplex Carmillon color and Lyria) seem somewhat annoying to remove. 1 Link to comment

Rod.H Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well this is what turned up today: So I then decided to run a small freight train Running a mixed Koki-Hoki consist is a tad too long for this track arrangement. Just a quick query, is the Kato DD13 meant to have operating red lights to go with the directional headlights? Link to comment

linkey Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I assume you mean what litteraly arrived for me today ;D C1e629jXEAEcjI7.jpg Mine was in a monthly order so I had to wait till the Winter break is over before they could ship it out. I only need the EF81-95 ('Rainbow B') as an addition to my Locomotive fleet and hoping to get a rainbow set in the future. I only need the KAYA27-500 as an extra to my already Cassiopeia set. So I'm looking forward to getting these :) Nice photo of your recent arrival. 1 Link to comment
serotta1972 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Got me the Tomix 92470 and Tomix 92471 Series 2100 Nagano Railway Limited Express "Snow Monkey" Unit E1 and E2 New Color. Actually got 2 of the 92470 and used one as a motor donor for my Tomix 92051. This is one of my favorite train designs and livery. 7 Link to comment
1954G Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Serotta, have you asked Loco1hobby about spare motors for your 92051? I was able to order one in 2015, cost around 1300 yen. Here's the Hobbysearch page for reference: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10069565 Link to comment
serotta1972 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 1954G, actually all I did was swap the the motor units. My saying "motor donor" made it seem like I pulled the motor from the 2100 and replaced the 253's. Oh no, I don't have the capability nor the desire to do that. :) But thanks and agree it would be much more cost effective to just order the motor. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Ordered a Piko Dutch 1200 series locomotive. Couldn't resist any longer, still one of my all time favourite locomotives, saw a LOT of them when growing up. I went with the grey/yellow version, since that's the one I saw the most, but I'll likely get the blue version at some point as well. Possibly also a 2nd grey/yellow one, considering they announced another of them with a different running number. http://www.piko-shop.de/index.php?vw_type=artikel&vw_id=21533 Edited January 7, 2017 by Martijn Meerts 3 Link to comment
Suica Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Piko models sure a bit on the pricy side compared to other German manufacturers. But I have a Piko DR BR 218 and the money is sure worth it. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yeah, they're not the cheapest, but the other Piko I have does run well. Their 1200 looks a LOT better than the Minitrix 1200 though, and hopefully it runs well. I should hopefully get it Tuesday or Wednesday, about the same time as I should be getting the decoder to go in there :D 1 Link to comment
