What did you order or the post deliver? (Japanese N Gauge)

Bought myself a TNOS system to play with from our friends at Rokko.

 

Will do some extensive testing on it as a non-japanese speaker and european/japanese train modeler and report back in a separate thread probably. I blame @defor for pushing me to the edge. 😂

Got these locomotives in a large lot of JR and JNR freight cars on a certain auction site.

What decoders did they use in the DF200s?

My short 787 arrived.

 

 

How does it run? I’m waiting for my seven car set. I’m sure HS will mail it soon. (They took my money on Thursday)

 

update: it was shipped today. I’m hoping to see it within 2 weeks (ePacket Light)

Motor unit is a tad noisy compared to my older Relay Tsubame 787. Hopefully a little lubrication and some extensive running will fix that.

 

I’m impressed that this has all new molding including the newer asymmetrical window arrangement. Generally a very nicely represented model with a lot of very tiny details that could have easily been overlooked.

 

I do like these units and living in northern Kyushu, I frequently see these on 6 car Kirameki services.

Came home to find not one but 3 packages from Japan waiting for me in the kitchen....next to them was a very angry wife. 😉  I told her that's what she bought me for Christmas....lol

Everything below is from an AmiAmi sale, except two packs of Kato Roundhouse 28-188 close couplers from RG Rokko (forgot to include them in the picture). The third box was from Hobbysearch which had no train stuff in it, just some 1/100 Destdroid models from Macross.

What proxy are you using that AmiAmi is ok with? When I last ordered from them, they sent me a really nasty note that they don't ship to proxies but because it was my first time, they would allow it. ONCE...

Arrived today (and I have to admit, I have again bought too much at the sale at HS T_T )

The KIHA32 was a real bargain: NEW for 53 € 😎

 

Kind regards

Patrick

Honestly, I don't know. I am a DC guy right now. I tested them and than ran great. I guess I could open one up and see if I can figure out what decoder they used?

If you pop off the shell and take a picture I can probably figure it out from there. Just be careful around the front, it's easy to knock/bend the hand grabs and uncoupling lever.

Hopefully this photo will work for you. I was scared to remove the decoder.

Yup, that works great! It's a Digitrax DN163K0a with the lights cut to fit, pretty much what I expected to see in there. Thank you again!

Arrived today:

Eizan Type 900 Green Maple color

50 N gauge layouts book

 

I do really like the fact that special color of the 900 has the 90th anniversary logo-

Does anyone know if the recent Orange/Red 2019 rereleases have this logo too?
