Densha Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So prototypically the old basic set + old addon B + two 4-door cars addon set model is right, but only has been for a short period. At this very moment there has already been another change to car number 10 prototypically, which will only be featured in the new completed sets, as with the TASC marking. Am I right? That is kind of annoying, I just got the old basic set some months ago and apart from that it's not prototypically at this moment anymore, the old addon sets will probably not be available after some time and I am not planning on extending my basic set in the near future.

Sir Madog Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Got my Kato C62 2 today from HS. What a beautiful machine! All that detail! The smoke deflectors are so thin, about half the thickness of those on my D51 498! My wish to Kato: How about revamping the C58 and the C11 to that level of quality? Link to comment

Even though I haven't got both of them, they look stunning on even just the pictures. On the pictures on the Kato website the black paint of the D51 seems to be less matte than from the C62, is that true? Link to comment

keitaro Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 madog when and if you get to it let me know how your model goes after applying the couplers to the front. Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Stunning loco. :grin Agreed. If he wanted to be prototypical, Madog should have taken it outside and rolled it in the dirt. Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
westfalen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'll second the motion for a revamped C58 and C11 and also bring back the long absent from the catalog C50. D51 498 has a shiny finish to copy it's present day appearance as an excursion engine though it's probably a little overdone, gloss finishes don't scale down well. The next version of the D51 will be a regular service version in flat black. To quote HS, "3. The body and paint the image of a machine matt incumbent JNR era, reproduce the color of copper tube air action. Carousel exudes the stately." Link to comment

I actually like the shiny paint better. I have never seen steam locos being in service in person, only as a museum one here in Holland, and also here they all are shiny, so I'm used to it. What is actually the case with the re-release of the D51? The schedule on the Kato website says that the Orient Express version and this one will be released in the coming months. Is the second one basically a copy of the D51 498, but with a different number? I prefer steam locos with snow plows, I think the look much better with them, will that one have them too? I hope I didn't ask too much, in the case it's still not publicly announced. Link to comment

Krackel Hopper Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My B-Train Shorty Cassiopeia sets arrived yesterday! This will make a nice addition to my B-Train collection Set A comes with both EF81 & EF510 in Cassiopeia livery, and Set B they give you EF81 & EF510 in Hokutosei livery. I wonder if that means they are planning to release a Hokutosei set soon? Not sure when I'll have time to assemble, but Hobby Search has some nice photos: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10163525 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10163527 Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 JRF-1935: My Doraemon train is from Newhall Station, and it definitely wasn't as overpriced as their stuff is now. I really wanted that train, but not at 3x the regular price ;) Anyway, got 2 Spirited Away houses, and the Howl's Moving Castle Hat shop in last week. Both of them Sankei paper kits. I'm starting to get quite the collection of Ghibli kits now :) Was also my first SAL order, took about a month to arrive, so not all that bad, considering EMS usually takes some 3 weeks as well if I count the time the packages spend in customs here.
