Bill,

I've never come across any of the Modemo products. It seems like they specialize in Trams, is that correct? How do like them as compared to the other Japanese manufactures?

I love 'em.  They run slowly and are quiet.  They are reliable. Right now I don't get to run them enough. Modemo has also made some N gauge JR Series 313 EMUs but I haven't seen any available in recent times.

Bill,

Stop the presses! On the link that you included on your previous post I found this and I didn't see it in Hobby Search. Is this also made by Modemo and what is it?

The translation from Excite is "Odakyu deluxe coach  20000 shape  RSE".  Modemo does reissue models, but most often these are trams.

Here it is in motion (but behind another Romance Train).
