Buck Heard Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well I sent my Tomix Turumi Railway TDE10 set back to Plaza Japan for replacement last week. They will be sending a new one out as soon as they get my old one back. Those guys are a class act and made the transaction pain free. Definatley be using these guys again. Also bought a Kato SD80MAC CSX# 801 from Gotham Model Trains. Should be here next week. That thing is a monster! Link to comment

David Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Got the Athearn North American passenger cars and I've already run into a problem - when they say "heavy weight" they really mean it. Described as "weighted for smooth operation", the 5 car set (4 car set + 1 seperately numbered "sampler") weighs about as much as my 30 car Canadian Pacific freight collection put together (mostly small freight cars like 25' ore cars and 30' tankers). My tiny little 3 axel Bachmann can't even budge them, the switchers can't do anything either. It took a GP38 diesel (Atlas) to get them moving and around a curve (though they really do run "smooth" - while the Microtrains caboose is wobbling a bit, the passenger cars are absolutely solid on the tracks). So, any suggestions for a roughly 1890s Canadian Pacific (or North American unlettered) model steam engine with enough pulling power to get this heavy weight passenger set running properly?

Bernard Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm waiting for the Haruka 6 car set: http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/KAT10385.aspx I saw Scott's set and really like it. Link to comment
grumbeast Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Been away a while, (took the Eurostar from the UK to Paris, then overnight to Milano, then Milano - Lecce with a 2yr old!). Will send links to pics when I upload them (they're not great.. couldn't carry a decent camera) but while I was away took delivery of a Kato series 700 8 car set! what a beauty!

inobu Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just ordered the JR 500. Not sure how I'm going to station it. Sixteen cars is long, I guess some passengers are just going to have to walk to the back of the train until the station expansion project is completed. I don't know when that will be! The station director can't even get his catenary project wrapped up much less a station expansion. I don't think he has started on his Viaduct station review yet. He needs to slow down a bit and prioritize before he gets fired! Inobu Link to comment

And if all fails do what most station directors do, take an hour coffee break. Link to comment
inobu Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm taking your advice 6 coffe breaks a day. 3 in the morning and 3 after lunch. It makes the work day much easier. Inobu Link to comment
nik_n_dad Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just got the kato shinkansen n700 but haven't installed the decoders to run it yet. The recently-arrived kato DD51 is a champ. We're waiting on the kato jet-powered RDC (surprise for Nik for Christmas)- Found out today that we are #13 on the list to get them when the next shipment gets to the US. http://www.katousa.com/Kobo/E-NRDC-Jet.html Link to comment
Bernard Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Nik is one lucky kid, he should love that train. Link to comment

Kabutoni Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ordered the remaining tracks for my Kiyoshi RR layout at Japan Model Railways. Tomorrow I'm off to the local modellers club's garage sale and hoping to buy a cheap new transformer that puts out more than a miserable 0,6 Amp. I need more powerrr! Less then 1,0 Amp won't do >:D After that it's onwards to building the layout and ordering freight cars :) Link to comment
