Having gotten a pack of cast brass smokestacks from Echo Model to replace the rather unlovely originals on my 9600s, I think this is one particular loco worth modelling:

Also another two Kato E5 trailer cars for my son's "rocket train"! :)

If only you could get another 9600 and a spare C56 tender...you could mate the two together to get a model of the Mitsubishi Bibai Railway (Hokkaido) locos... :grin

Some more HoKi 2200 hoppers arrived the other day:

They've had the detail parts and numbers applied, and some very subtle weathering done with the Tamiya powders.

 

Cheers,

Have I acquired enough points yet to become a part of the HO Club?  :)

Definitely. You've got the makings of a mixed train already! ;)

I'm not a fan of the newer Shinkansens, but seems we have acquired a sound-equipped N700. Not sure exactly what scale though.

Lol, wonder how long that will last with the parents once he discovers pushing the sound buttons enough can push his parents buttons!

 

More indoctrination!

Biggest mistake my parents made was getting me a remote control (cord attached)western style steamer for Christmas as a very young lad. After the 3rd set of batteries ran out, suddenly there were no more spares! I don't think it was the noise as much as the fact it had bump and go and I spent a lot of time bumping into peoples legs. I even used to sleep with it!! I blame my dad for taking me to the train station as a nipper to see the odd steam train heading to its final resting place/museum/restoration

Modifications involving installation of muffling material around the speaker are in the planning stage.

One of the things that I find interesting about JNR is their station architecture. Unlike some railways there doesn't seem to be a limited number of standardised designs used throughout the network. But there are some common features that are seen in many different locations, one of which is those corrugated fibro-cement roofs on platform shelters that you see all over the place. They're something I've long fancied having, but they'd be a bugger to scratchbuild.

 

But now I don't even have to think about how I'd go about making them. I got some of these instead:

At the moment I'm at home, sick as a dog with the man flu, but when I'm feeling a bit better I'll post some photos of how they go together. My initial impression of these kits is very favourable.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

post-2768-0-12606100-1468170799_thumb.jpg     I just ordered another Shinkansen.  This one is the Rokuhan 500 EVA Basic Set.  OK.OK, I'm not going bonkers, you can blame the post in the Small Layouts thread that showed an N scale layout in a fish tank.

 

I have a triangular tank that was going to be thrown in the garbage next week.    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, THAT'S WHY.

 

The pic will be revamped later.

Although not train related I do plan on using/hiding these on my Japanese train layout.  I didn't want to go the Godzilla route so being a huge Macross fan I picked up 8 of these in various modes/paint. I ordered 5 planes and 3 Battroids (robot form). I couldn't pass them up...they are 1/144 scale. 6 of the 8 arrived on Friday with the final 2 shipping sometime this month. Oh and of course I recieved a few more Koki cars with the Valkyrie fighters. ;)

Very pretty loco. I just took in my first Kato Unitrack set today it's a HM1 that will replace my 26inch bachmann oval on my 5X8. Next another 5X8 Kato track set a HV1 that will replace my 28 inch eztrack oval. Good bye eztrack. Thanks to the member who said something about replacing my Bachmann track with unitrack. It's happening!! WooHoo..

No, I haven't ordered one, but this will inflict a serious dent in a lot of pockets!

New Arumodel Baldwin-Westinghouse steeplecab. Now, if anyone could persuade Arumodel to do a "right-handed" version...

A couple of days ago I received a package with a pair of Aclass Wara1 covered vans, and a Tomix Series153 add-on motor and trailer car set. While the tribe are out swimming this afternoon I'm going to put the lettering and parts on them, and lightly weather the Wara1s. Photos to follow.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

Packing tape over the speaker holes makes a big difference. Don't ask me how I know.

The Tramway Toden 7500 series tram arrived this afternoon just before I left for work. It looks gorgeous, but I'll have to wait until morning to see how it runs...

 

Cheers,
