Just got back from my Osaka/Kyoto trip. Didn’t score a whole lot but did get this. Total damage about 11,000 yen.

[serotta1972]

Wow, you are stronger willed than I or was there an external force helping with the restraint. :)  Welcome back, looking forward to seeing and hearing about your trip.  BTW, Sam and I are going to Crockett this Saturday.

[locidm]

Lol thanks Junior. There wasn’t a lot of time for train shopping. I wanted to buy a nankai 5000 rapit but didn’t see one at a good price. Wanted to get a few other trains I rode on during the trip but couldn’t pull the trigger mostly because I didn’t have time to do any research before hand.

 

Probably won’t make it this Saturday since I have other commitments. Have fun!

Not bought anything new for a while but as a certain forum member 😂 has influenced my intrest in freight I thought I d treat myself to some of the cheaper kokis plus a couple of mini platorms for the storage area,bit narrow but if I used normal platform I would have to lose a siding which I do nt want to do.

Just arrived from mtp,thanks Nariichi, if parcel wrapping was a sport this guy would be a gold medalist,beautifully parcelled and wrapped.

Got a package, it may not be the Shikishima, but it does mean I can start replacing wooden-tie track on my layout with concrete track on the subway loop, and I can start work on the subway station  (finally!)

It's not the kokis that'll get you, it's the containers that'll drag you down the rabbit hole.

No truer words have been said.

 

I spent an hour or two trying every possible Tomix number in the range where their containers lie, seeing which ones I had, and ordering most of the rest.   (And I   was just on eBay looking at German/European flatcars with containers just now)

I don't have one, as it doesn't fit the region I'm doing, though I do have a 500 EVA...

 

A reason why Hobby Search doesn't do small boxes

 

Just a small addition

Some upgrades for the Tomix set I have

 

I thought I goofed when I saw Boso Express on the side, but searches came back with that's what went to Kashima in Ayame service.

 

I believe Ayame is the headboard sign by the blank one.

A couple of Tomix structures from HS before they disappear and are reissued in other colors at higher prices.  :)  The 4025 is already gone.

Just stay away from ISO tank containers...they get expensive fast. Nothing like an $8 koki with close to $40 of containers on it...

Don't I know it...

[nah00]

Though to be honest the new Tomix ISO tank containers are really nice, I'd say even better than Popondetta because they have a much more secure base the clips on the koki and on the bottom support struts there's a small cut out so you don't have to trim a set of clips off of the koki if you you wanted to load it with three of them.
