Suica Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 6 hours ago, Philphil said: @tt0880 Great deal on the cars and busses! @Suica How many cars are in that set? Which one do you mean? The 381 Yuttari Yakumo? That's 6 cars. However, it can be prototypically arranged as a 4 car set as well. 5 hours ago, JR 500系 said: Hi Suica - what puzzles me is that does your Kuro381 already has the nickname board? Mine doesnt seem to come with it... though i have already pre-ordered the additional part for it... The head mark? Mine came attached. Link to comment

Thanks for the tip :) Link to comment

Philphil Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Apparently I have 53 packages that have arrived at Buyee, and four still on their way... I didn't realize I'd spent so much money... 1 Link to comment

This way I can keep tabs on how much I spend, and what my budget is, because I tend to get carried away sometimes. Maybe, it's an idea for you too. Link to comment

serotta1972 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 For me, it’s so I know what I have and not buy duplicates. 1 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have a few photos on my phone to help with that. Mostly of the ends of boxes or the numbers on unboxed stock, to avoid buying duplicates in future. Link to comment

Amen to this, hahaha. People at work tease me and ask how much I've spent on the hobby. I tell them I'm too horrified to ever put a number to it. Link to comment
tt0880 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Speaking of excessive purchases, ANOTHER package came in the mail... :) But it wasn't a train this time! I found this cool calendar online. Here's the beautiful picture for the first 2 months. It's great to bring this little bit of my interest into my workplace, as I have it hanging up at my desk at work! Bonus picture: I actually picked this up at a second hand shop during my trip to Japan for only 100 yen. It's such a simple little diorama (probably just from a gacha machine) but it brings me a lot of joy. I wonder how long until my work desk is covered in Japanese trains? 11 Link to comment

Philphil Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wasn't there a flyer for some manufacturer that was planning to make the Tobu 500 Series sets in N scale? I could have sworn I'd seen it announced before, but I can't seem to find it again. Link to comment

I am trying to figure out which one of you is worse but I have come to the conclusion you are both as bad as each other, especially since you both have the same addictions, out of curiosity do you both have a postman permanently allocated to deal with the constant stream of deliveries 😝😝😝😝😝😝 2 Link to comment
