Sheffie Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 You can never have too many trees. Or containers. Also, a tunnel kit and a pin vise. 11 Link to comment

Pashina12 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just ordered another Kato C11, a set of C11 number plates from Revolution Factory which includes several numbers that were assigned to Aizu-Wakamatsu, a DVD of the Aizu Line in JNR days, and just for fun, a keychain with the (current) Aizu-Wakamatsu station sign... 🙂 3 Link to comment

Wow, lots of government housing. Most have large numbers on the side which I always think looks a little more communist for a democratic country. 1 Link to comment

beakaboy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 attended a Model Railway show in The Waikato district of New Zealand over the weekend. Was helping to display and run an extended version of a friends NZ120(TT scale) modular layout. Picked up some excellent bargains from a trader who has closed his store. E26 set (10-399) for $75. Old EF65 Kato for $15ea. The other brown electric has no name apart from HT-60 on bogies, but I suspect Shinano Micro ($30). 2 x Athearn F59PHI for $20ea. OHA 30 coaches were $10ea and Tomix 2777 hopper packs were $20 pkt. managed to get some TT scale vehicles and figures/animals from the same trader. Also received some secondhand triang/Hornby from a deceased estate 10 Link to comment
Sheffie Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Quite a haul, beakaboy I received a modest selection of grass, shrubbery, and stone for my upcoming landscaping efforts, plus a couple more containers, because you can never have too many. 5 Link to comment

Interseting buildings around there. Right by the station. Apartments, school, houses, supermarket and shops with roof top parking.

Suica Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It's been a while since I received more than one (or none) packages with Japanese trains per week. Tomytec Izuhakone Railway Series 3000 Love Live! Sunshine!! Happy Party Train Super Green Shuttle Liner including some custom containers. 9 Link to comment
Drunkenclam Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I was eyeing up that Love Live train too. Just wish there was an easy way to decrease the gap between cars. Are you motorizing it? Link to comment
Gryphr Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) If you equip it with Tomix TN couplers and glue on gangways the gap will be very small to almost nonexistant, as with "normal" models. Edited May 1, 2019 by Gryphr Link to comment

Very nice on the containers, are the Super Green Shuttle Liner ones all renumbered? Puts my eight or 9 car consist for it to shame. *something-something oh they can make a Love Live!! train but no Idolm@ster trains grumble-grumble* Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Be a bit cautious with TN couplers on Tomytecs. Tried them on my 119 Series single cars only to find the wheels hit the coupler mounting plate. Luckily I had a spare pair of bogie frames so was able to revert to Rapidos until I can think of a solution (probably Kato Shibatas in the Tomytec coupler mounts). Link to comment

Drunkenclam Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hooray. My pots of Mr Color paint turned up in time for the holiday weekend. Yes I could have probably got matching shades from another manufacturer cheaper, but if your colour vision is shot. Sometimes it makes sense paying a little extra to get the ones listed. 3 Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Gunze has really high quality paints, well worth the price. Just make sure to remember these are solvent based, not acrylics 🙂 2 Link to comment
Pauljag900 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Some bits from Nariichi at MTP, trucks,containers and part built building to complete the freight yard and construction site Also a couple of buildings from Outland models,they re not Tomytec or Kato but good value for money👍😀 6 Link to comment
Pashina12 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 My package with the C11 and Aizu Line dvd arrived! Also included the C11 number plates from Revolution Factory, several of them are for Aizu-Wakamatsu engines... they're quite nice! 5 Link to comment

Pauljag900 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 😂😂thanksfor that,👍I just liked the building tbh. The likelihood is that eventually all the building signs will be changed when I get around to doing it. 1 Link to comment
