beakaboy Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 nah00 look forward to seeing the F-toys fire engines. I was very tempted , but would prefer 1 or 2 model packs rather than 10. Those Taki are very nice. I have quite a collection of the older style tankers Link to comment
Suica Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Neither did I order, nor did the post deliver it. But I got a pretty nice birthday present from a good friend. :D 12 Link to comment

serotta1972 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hey Suica, I hate to speculate but a ribbon on each car of different colors and so neatly done - seems like more than just a good friend there buddy. 😄 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 A good friend indeed! A very nice touch with the bows, very Japanese presentation. Happy birthday Suica! cheers jeff 1 Link to comment

cteno4 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) The very big and the very small in one package! Flea switcher looks nice, very small etched metal parts and the smallest motor unit I've ever seen! Weighting it enough to pull cars will be interesting. The tower looks quite nice. Going to be something to see if we can work into the club 3.0 layout at some point. cheers jeff ps it was an early April fools joke about the flea motor for charles,mbutnhe missed it!

ToniBabelony Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) The JR East Tohoku bug has bitten me... One of 'em is a bit reworked with window protectors and looks amazing like that: I'm definitely very happy with these! More is on the way as well...

serotta1972 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 What kind of area in Japan do these locos run that they would need windshield protectors. They look really cool and gives the loco a tougher look. :) Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Another parcel dropping in from Ami... Couple of Tomytec stuff like the bus collections, Kustatsu Onsen bus station (gotta visit this the next time I go Japan), some more buildings, the Toden trams, the Greenmax 2 car bookcases, the 1/80 bus on 48% sale and finally the Tomix E501 Mito line series also on massive sale... I didn't wanna get that E501, but seeing it on such a big sale will surely make me sorry if I don't grab it! 9 Link to comment

While I totally agree, this one was really going for almost 50% off which makes it irresistible... now I can add this guy to Oyama scene with the 115 series and the E-shinkansens! Ami dropped off another parcel (gotta love the speed of these DHL parcels!) Basically the pre-ordered bus sets from Kobe and the kinda interesting Donan bus (maybe getting another copy of this for its uniqueness), The Nambu Branch line (missed the first one) and the famed and highly anticipated Genbi Shinkansen! Now this guy is really really beautifully painted! One of the most striking shinkansens indeed! 9 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Ha Sammy, I knew that was what was going in that last slot in the new case! Or did you use the open slot as an excuse to get the genbi? jeff Edited September 26, 2017 by cteno4 Link to comment
