trainhoarder Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This arrived a few days ago, but I haven't had time to run it until now: Here's a link to it running on YouTube: I am sooo happy with it. :love10: It won't be my last purchase from HobbySearch. An EF66 and some freight cars will probably be next at some point- watch this space! 7 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Nice Video, very nicely made! Welcome to the world of shinkansen, and it doesn't stop just at the 0 series ~ :P Link to comment
Sascha Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Got this from eBay, thanks to a link from cteno4. I was the only bidder, what I think is strange for such an item, but maybe not. I'm happy with it. Explanation from the seller. Tohoku / Joetsu Shinkansen line .There are 7 entrance tickets for the Ueno station opening memorial. The opening date is March 14, 1985. The front cover is a photo of JR Series 200 Shinkansen Tohoku/Joetsu. Broadcasting chimes at each station are recorded on the Flexi disc. The Platform ticket is 7 sheets spelled. 6 Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Glad a forum member got it! I was considering bidding on it, but held off at the last moment as I don't own any of the proper trains to run with it. Now if I found a Tokaido Shinkansen recording..... As an aside, is the small plow found on the front of the train due to the amount of snowfall on the Jotesu line? Do any other shinkansens have plows? 1 Link to comment

Yes, and yes, most or all (someone will know better than me) of the units on the "eastern" network (i.e. lines running north from Tokyo), though much less prominent on the newer designs. 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sasha, Great you got it. The first go around I almost bid on it, but finally decided I had enough stuff! Glad I posted it! Enjoy! Jeff 1 Link to comment
IST Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I bought my last train set a long time (maybe 10 month) ago, I focused on layout accerssories (buildings, figures, vehicles). But 2 weeks ago during the usual dreaming on Hobby Search's homepage I ordered a KIHA48 train set beside a Tomytec truck set. It looks good and I always wanted a KIHA4x DMU. 5 Link to comment
Socimi Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Arrived this morning. Kato E231-500, Unitrack V5,10x 808mm Flexible tracks (only 4 pictured) and a Tomytec Toei Bus. 3 Link to comment
Suica Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So this weird thing just arrived. A JNR 715 series by TexT. It was pretty cheap, as these things usually are. 9 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Wow that's really rare! I have never seen these before! Good buy! Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Some new pre-order arrivals from Ami ... The Tomix E233 Camera Car! Havent played with it yet, but have already downloaded the app and standing by... shall be my first toy to play with in my new place~ :) Another small box, containing some on-sale items, the Kotochan Bus (never miss a painted bus, even if it's not N scale!) and the E2-1000 Yamabiko 3-car add-on... My E2-1000 Hayate has been missing it's add-on set for far too long, but as the original 3-car add-on for the Hayate is long sold out, I just had to go with this instead... Different Pantographs though, so expecting the rail police to show up .... 5 Link to comment
Suica Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Wow that's really rare! I have never seen these before! Good buy! Well, not very rare, but still not common. Mainly because it was pretty overpriced back when it was released. It is not a very good model after all. My E2-1000 Hayate has been missing it's add-on set for far too long, but as the original 3-car add-on for the Hayate is long sold out, I just had to go with this instead... Different Pantographs though, so expecting the rail police to show up .... UN-FOR-GIVABLE !!! After yesterdays fake-583 series, an actual 583 series arrived today. Tomix's old Kitaguni. Unfortunately though, it only comes with one motor car. So if anyone happen to have another motor car floating around for some reason, shoot me a PM! Edited July 28, 2017 by Suica 1 Link to comment
Yavianice Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Tomix's old Kitaguni. Unfortunately though, it only comes with one motor car. So if anyone happen to have another motor car floating around for some reason, shoot me a PM! Is it too weak with only 1 motor car? Or do you have too many slopes?

Suica Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Is it too weak with only 1 motor car? Or do you have too many slopes? The 10 car set usually comes with 2 motor cars. However one of the sellers must've swappet one out for an unmotorized one. Also, I got enough cars to replicate the 12 car formation. Thus 2 motor cars would make sense. 2 Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Actually haven't spent anything on trains for months, and the last train I bought wasn't even Japanese. 1 Link to comment
