disturbman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm surprised they didn't released it as a set with the 'Thank You From Kamaishi' wrapping. Link to comment

Good score on that one! Link to comment

Kiha66 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Nice find! I love the side rods. I'm hoping I can find a cheap set of those one of these days. Do you think it'd be possible to fit TN couplers to one? Edited November 2, 2020 by Kiha66 Link to comment
KateM Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Two weeks ago I got a larger shipment from AmiAmi where I bought almost all tracks and most turnouts that were available there and added it to my 36-700 Thank You From Kamaishi preorder. I also bought some light boards, it adds the nice final touch to the train. Also few new buildings like the new narrow platform and the older green-roofed station. I also got my first Kato train, KiHa 111/112, thanks @disturbman for recommendation 👍 Two KiHa 110s and one more 111/112 are on the way. They will come hopefully tomorrow, together with my 36-700 Iwate×Geodude preorder. It's kinda funny, the Geodude train was my first to ever buy and in the beginning I planned to get just that one car and display it. But here we go, I still don't have it at home and yet I already have a looot of stuff 🙂 8 Link to comment

It appears to have bog-standard Arnold coupler pockets, this example has what looks like a Kato multi-coupler adapter (not sure what the technical term is) at one end. 1 1 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Another parcel dropped off by Ami... It's Halloween! Amazing NOT so good use of space I just found out the importance of re-railers on my layout so i went ahead and got more of them... The GM buildings look interesting, and a couple of buses on the bargains bin... Also picked that Keisei 3100 series from the Bargains bin since it will be right running next to the Keisei Skyliner! 7 Link to comment

GCS Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 My Kato Thalys arrived this morning and she’s an absolute stunner. Kato are really hitting them out the park with their European releases. Can’t wait for the UK GWR 800 series! 😀 Guy 10 Link to comment
KateM Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 AmiAmi arrived today to my home as well 🙂 I was so excited I forgot to take photos 😄 There are at least my new trains. The Iwate×Geodude 36-700 is the best, I really love it. Also finally got a motorised KiHa, I can see for the first time how Kato trains run. Can't wait until my layout is ready for them. 7 Link to comment

cteno4 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Yikes my Outland box showed up today, I think I went a little crazy trying out their 3D printed stuff! A few buildings I didn’t already have as well. But stuff was 20% off and the $6 shipping, such a deal. stuff looks nice. 3D looks pretty crisp, I’ll get out the godhands and trim away tonight and take some picts. They print a lot of their stuff at 45 degrees off horizontal so I guess it helps disguise stair stepping and supports horizontal flats by building them out slowly and not directly all together. I’m interested to see how some of the spindlier stuff holds up once cut free from the supports. The balusters on the railing on the subway entrance are some of the finest I’ve ever seen produced and looked good thru the package, I’ll look close at them tonight. Also didn’t realize they included cars with some of the garage accessories. Took about 4 weeks to get here. Cheers jeff 6 Link to comment
