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

[Das Steinkopf]

Well my rather underwhelming “pre order” from AmiAmi arrived today, originally I had ordered a MicroAce JR Tokai 213-5000 Series and stacked the order with some smaller items I wanted to make the order worthwhile. In true MicroAce fashion the release date has now been rescheduled for another two months, consequently I will be stacking that order with numerous small items which will predominantly be Hogaraka Dou containers. On the plus side I now have enough TN Couplers to finish off recoupling my Tomix Koki’s and Kato Close Couplers for my soon to be delivered Kato Koki 106’s and 107’s, I also got some Kato half UniJoiners to use on my deck girder bridges.

I got another C62 this weekend, this time from serotta1972.

I kinda really need a 103 series myself but I don't have that kind of money at the moment. I hope I can find something nice when I'm back in Japan.

(I'd actually really like a Hanwa line train but it looks like they're only made by Greenmax and not that widely available anymore.)

Welp... so this actually happened.

My first 103 series!

I don't understand, you're other trains are 15 cars long - why a little bitty short 4 car set and 115 Series at that. You need to get yourself a Series 115-1000 15 car set. :)

Hey now don't worry, besides a 215-series set, a 15-car 211 series set is on my next to buy list! I've already found a video for the set I'm going to copy: 

My only problem is finding that second bi-level green car with the solid stripes that go all the way across the car.

I did not know Kato made half-UniJoiners before your post.

Small package today.

 

 

I really wanted to use the pre-made Greenmax crossing gate for my curved crossing, but out of stock everywhere. So went for the TGW ones. 

 

 

Now just need time to put all the other bits together.

Awesome pic Sam! It was really cool seeing the C62 sitting on the turntable. Next meet up, we’ll do the roundhouse photo shoot with our Steam locos.

Be careful Philphil, peer pressure is rampant on this forum.  We don’t want you buying something you don’t want or need, wait a minute some of us have that problem so it’s okay - you’re in good company. 😀 Looking forward to seeing your fleet of trains running.

Thanks for the enthusiasm, but that would require me to actually buy some N-scale track first! (Track is just so expensive! 😅)

Things are hopping today. Since I posted above another parcel arrived. This is a Tomytec TM-LRT04 double articulated tram drive from Plaza Japan.

I really like how the Kato versions have grey couplers as standard.  I wish the Tomix 106s and 107s had grey couplers as standard.  The really stand out in black.

Lots of lovely pictures of late 60s/early 70s steam in Aizu!

[katoftw]

This arrived yesterday.  Still need bogies, pans and motor unit.  Rode them daily on the Tamagawa Line last September.

 

 

Also ordered the recently released Kato EF210-100 from AmiAmi, still at 30% off, which is really 22% off without GST.  I've been doing a lot of small orders from AmiAmi recent as it keeps the shipping costs low at 380 yen each time.

What type of shipping are you using and how long does it take to get to you?

 

Thanks,

Just realized that I still have 20 packages waiting to be shipping from Buyee, along with five more that still need to arrive at the warehouse... 

Oh boy, they build up so fast!

I needed to make room for some new arrivals. :)

 

Another 103, finally a container train, can't resist the EH800 and I'm stocking up on Tomix TN couplers.
