bill937ca Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Some layout material for a future bulletin board layout. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10535004 1 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The first part of the Twilight Express by Tomix arrived: I was very impressed with the little tool provided for fitting the roof details, much simpler than trying to push a pinhead-sized aerial into a hole with fingers or tweezers. 5 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Amazon UK Marketplace still has them. In fact the basic set has dropped by £10 since I ordered which is mildly annoying! The KaNi has directional tail lights and illuminated nameboard between them. There are also DD51s and ED79-0s for under £40 each if you're going for the full set. Definitely looking at the Cassiopeia next, need another DD51 to finish the Twilight Express first but after that... I'm intrigued by the powered KaYa offered as an optional extra to replace one of the end cars. Maybe start with that and the first add on pack, borrow the ED79 I have on order for the Twilight to haul it until I can stretch to the rest of the set... Link to comment
Pauljag900 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I ve just got the ef65 locco and the basic 8 coach set which is plenty big enough for my layout 👍👍😀 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I can only really run the full length trains on an oval on the dining table or the elevated oval on the floor, but I still find myself buying the complete set. Not necessarily in the order the manufacturer might intend, as you've probably noticed! 1 Link to comment

Ultratram Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Just got this one in the mail to add to my keikyu collection. It was a bit pricey but it is harder to find. 4 Link to comment
gavino200 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 A few things for my container yard, plus some items for a future construction scene. 5 Link to comment

It looks like a straight piece of sprue with a moulded cup on each end. A round one for one fitting and a rectangular one for the other. Comes on the same sprue as the aerials and looks like it may be common to multiple Tomix locos. 1 Link to comment

They are also common in some Tomix sets that require fitting of the Antenna and the Signal tube, such as the 313 series and many other commuters ~ 21 hours ago, Waisneed said: Today I got some mail.

Wow... at the rate you are going, you gonna need a larger floor to run all your trains soon! 😛 10 hours ago, Ultratram said: Just got this one in the mail to add to my keikyu collection.

I'm using a folding dining table 6ft by 2 ft 6 but in addition to a full Twilight Express ,I've also got a Hokutusei,a Cassiopeia and a nine coach Asakaze! I'm optimistic about someday getting a chance to make a bigger layout! Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Ami dropped off a little parcel from my pre-orders... Bus Collection 24 and case, Odakyu 4000 series, Sayonara Toei bus sets and more All Island bus series... And yes I got the special in the Bus collection 24 this time round! (First bus in the picture on the far left, Ahan Bus) which means i'm missing one bus, the normal Ahan bus. What's really strange is, isn't all bus cases supposed to hold 18 buses? (last picture) Why does mine only holds 16 (2nd last picture) 3 Link to comment
railsquid Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Some random purchases, a couple of Tomix E233 intermediate cars to bulk out my 3-car set, some Kato corridor diaphragms to experiment with bulking up some older stock, and some flags for my EF58 61 which came without them, but I have since discovered it hauled the Imperial Train along the Chuo Line so must have. 3 Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well my June preorder from AmiAmi arrived today and somewhat earlier than the last few months, mind you that’s because half of the order is missing as it has either been rescheduled for September release or shunted off into a mystery date preorder that still says June on it. I am rather underwhelmed with this order as it is just another example of AmiAmi declining level of customer service, in the past they were great and I was always happy with their service, now however is a different story. 3 Link to comment
lighthouse Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Get the Kato case for 1 loco and 6 wagons, finally 2 mail-cars and 2 passenger cars for the train. I collect this typ of train after seeing a photo from the Nemuro line in the later 70s. 1 Link to comment
