Claude_Dreyfus Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 My Micro Ace KiHa E131 + E132 set has arrived! Looks rather nice! Link to comment
Fenway Park Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The new Tomytec Coaling stage and water tower 082 in concrete, KATO ED16 and the new period wagons from Tomix Tsu 1000 and Ku 300. Ventilated vans for fruit and cattle wagon respectively. The ventilated vans will be useful as there was some use of these in Kyushu for pumpkin traffic apparently. These were for eating and not Halloween!!! Tomix claim both were in use until 1977 but I would have thought the cattle/animal wagons would have fallen out of use earlier than this date. However, no complaints as Tomix are developing their steam era wagons and you can buy just ONE!!! Link to comment

KenS Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 A whole bunch of "restocked" Kato, MicroAce and GreenMax trains just popped up on HS. Among them was one of the original Super View Odoriko basic sets (the light blue version) described as "Package is damaged but there is no problem on the item itself". I ordered it, and it went out-of-stock, so they must have had just one. I'd been wanting one of those, now I can't wait to see how it looks. Link to comment

A local shop here in Brisbane seems to have a lot of 'new' old stock Kato and Micro-Ace too, I wonder if a supplier somewhere cleaned out a forgotten corner of the warehouse. Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ordered 2 of the Tomix branch line semaphore exit signals from Plaza Japan for my project party modules. Ordered late yesterday, and already shipped today :) I wonder how long until they arrive and how the customs is going to handle this package... Link to comment
rankodd Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Just ordered the Kato 10-354 Series 100 Shinkansen 6 car set that popped up on HS. Seems that it was the only one they had - it immediately went out of stock after I completed the order... They still have the 6 car and 2 car expansions, if anyone is interested. Link to comment
linkey Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Don't worry if you missed the basic set of the series 100 Grand Hikari as it will be re-released in the near future as it is a very popular like like every other shinkansen. I will be happy when it comes out next time as I have got a big list of reserverd items all the way to September so I will wait for all of these come in before ordering any thing new unless I know I would like to get it in October.
