Welshbloke Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I also grabbed a load of JNR containers recently. More than I have wagon space for, until Tomi re-release the KoKi 10000 with a different number. Don't want more than one duplicate! Link to comment
RogerMc Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 This is my ~first~ Japanese train. I hope that makes me an official bona fide member of the community. Woohoo! Hmmm, desire satisfied. What do I get next? 8 Link to comment

I am trying to avoid buying much but had to get a few containers I don't remember having already. Prices after tax-free and 5% Visa discount even lower! What is the Ghibli stuff? Link to comment

The greenmax Hanshin 1000 Series (Go! Go! Nadagogou! Wrapping). Put a dent in the credit card, but it’s a very nice looking train. Even a nice sleeve. If you are a cat fancier you’ll love this one as well! You made me weaker so I ordered it also. But after I paid it, I remembered what hell it was with my first Green Max purchase which was made of such flimsy plastic that interior light would shine through very brightly. I am very happy to report that Green Max made this set with much better plastic so the light remains inside. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If that was the green max tamper? That seemed to be an aberration for them. the go! Go! Go! Nadagogou wrapping is purty! jeff Link to comment

I already have a Totoro set I bought years ago at Aeon and we wanted to buy some playing cards to play Babanuki (Old Maid) with the relations in the evening. I saw these and decided I had to have them. They had a "Castle in the Sky" set as well but I did not buy it (yet). 1 Link to comment

cteno4 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Careful I did American for 30 years, now all Japanese and I’ve ended up with wayyy more Japanese Thani ever had American, mainly because there is so much more variety! Still need to sell off the remnants of the us stuff! Jeff 1 Link to comment

Before you know it you will have multiple trains in every category. 🙂 1 -JNR Train - checked 1 - Shinkansen 1 - Limited Express 1 - Commuter 1 - Private Railway 1 1 Link to comment
Sheffie Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I don’t have a Shinkansen and I’m not sure I would ever buy one. Just haven’t seen one that’s the right shape. I’d say any three from the above list would be enough 1 Link to comment

A 400 series has nice short coaches and would look just fine on your layout, IMHO.

But I don't have a koki problem, I have a space for kokis problem. Yep, I think a number of us are floating in that boat. I currently have 83 KoKi's and 317 containers of varying types and sizes and I have a further 5 KoKi's and 36 containers of varying types on order, my goal is to get about 360 odd containers which I am not far from doing, KoKi wise I would like to get a pair of KoKi 105 and about another 10 KoKi 104's to satisfy my needs.
