serotta1972 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 New to me MicroAce Doraemon Train. It looks great, I would've love to have seen this train in person. I hope it runs as good as it looks. 🙂 Thank you @disturbman! 13 Link to comment

Kiha66 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Something was delivered, but not what I ordered! I accidentally got sent the wrong parts, anyone with a 321 series interested? Just pay shipping and it's yours. 1 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Six packs of Kato gangways, a twin pack of elevated station deck plates and another double track truss bridge in light green are now on their way from various sources. I still wish Kato would make a long bowstring bridge like the Tomix one. I'm not swapping just for that, but do think it'd sell well if Kato were to tool it. Link to comment

I thought I would pass due to cost, but it was just too nice and amazon.jp had a few as separate sets (so don’t have the fancy double sleeve) pretty cheap and very cheap shipping on it all. I was weak! It does have really nice details and interior details that with a little extra detailing I think will really show thru the Windows well! jeff Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Collected 2 parcels from Ami.... Even more buses! I am excited to see all of the Shinjuku bus! Strange that they didn't come with a secret variant nor a case this time... The Trio Osaka City livery bus looks pretty nice! Another parcel contains trains.... The E657 Hitachi/ Tokiwa which I was missing, and a Kiha-220 in Seaside liner livery... That's just something uniquely attractive about the Kiha-220 and 200s... just cant point it out, but simply uniquely pretty! Finally decided to get the missing E657.. especially more so since Ami has it on sale at about 40% off... Starting to love the bubble head! 🙂 9 Link to comment
chadbag Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I like the seaside liner stuff especially @JR 500系 Link to comment
TheNicofabi Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) So... while having worked for nearly a week at the exhibition "Modell, Hobby, Spiel" in Leizpig. I found and got some good deals on these puppies at Lemke. PS. The prices on the cars is not what I paid... Edited October 9, 2019 by TheNicofabi 13 Link to comment
railsquid Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 As a wise man once said, you can never have enough EF64s: Tomix EF64 (0 series) by Rail Squid, on Flickr This one will become EF64-62, which was active in that livery on the section of Chuo Line which interests me, e.g.: http://okerazz.sakura.ne.jp/steelvagrants/Photonikki2006/0609/photonikki3.htm 5 Link to comment

Welshbloke Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 An unexpected lucky find. £25 BIN on ebay: I have had to bodge the couplers slightly as a previous owner had filed the notches wider to cram Kato knuckles in, so I had to make washers from old coupler pockets (cut off newer stock which gained body mount couplers). Not perfect but given the price to sort it out properly with replacement parts I'll run it as-is for now. Not tested the tail lights yet but there's no reason for them not to work. Still trying to work out what the other five coaches for the full twelve car train should be, what's in the box matches the instructions but none of the other Hokutosei packs I've seen. This one has an OHaNe 25 100 and a SuHaNe 25 500 (mini lobby car), can't find those two in the same set elsewhere. 9 Link to comment
Sheffie Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ordered: Kato’s “All Around The Kyushu” (seven-car set), plus a roll of white 1mm tape and one of orange, for making a container yard. 2 Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Sadly no rolling stock in this order, but there is plenty of rubber wheeled vehicles to make up for it, I have some more TN’s that I will be fitting to my KiYa 95 DR2 and my powered KiHa 75 as well as a set of PS-27N pantographs to fit on my 373 Series Inaji to bring it up to current specs. 5 Link to comment

Do let us know if you got the secret variant from the Truck collection 🙂 Is it just me, or is those single bus packs having the bus models placed in an opposite way? I do recall they always pack their buses with the passenger side facing out... Link to comment

I placed the buses that way as I wanted the print from the right side of the Kitty bus to be shown as the print on the top of the pack is the same as the left hand side, the Kitty bus is for my wife and has a nice link as we stayed in Kokura and Hakata on our last trip back in 2017. 2 Link to comment
