Jeff, it's beautifully done - I've been admiring each car and straining my eyes looking at the wonderful artwork.  

 

Of course Paul, when I need to unload some surplus trains - you're on the top of the list.

And how about a tutorial for coupler mods?👍😂

Another piece arrived first thing this morning.  Another Tomytec tram body from Model Train Plus.

Hi folks,

 

today this beauty arrived, preorder a long time ago:

 

 

I know, I was off here for quite a time - had an accident at work which hurted my knee. Since my model train resides in a row of boxes atop the cabinet, it was literally out of reach for weeks. As things go, other hobbies and duties took over... meanwhile I'm well again but seems it needed the kick of the Red Beauty to bring me back. ;)

Wow, did the Kato EH800's just come out!? 

I've been resisting the 800 urge for quite some time, which was pretty easy since Tomix was the only manufacturer, but since Kato came out.... I NEED ONE!!!

(Would any of you happen to know a good dealer for something like this?)

This thread lists the commonly used dealers that ship internationally, I think most, if not all of them should have the EH800 in stock.

Although I have several Tomix HG 58 series, I haven't any Kiha 28 series for some reason. 

 

I have pre ordered 2 Kiha 58 ( 1 motored) and 2 Kiha 28  will have to wait to see how they compare with the Tomix 58s. 

 

Over the years, Tomix have issued several variants with different cab windows. The details on HS suggest these are early versions with flat cab windows. Please correct me if I have misread the translation.

What type of shipping are you using and how long does it take to get to you?

 

Thanks,

Eric

380 yen for unregistered SAL to Oceania, 14-28 days.

1300 yen for ePacket airmail, 7-10 days

2200 yen for EMS, 5-7 days.

 

AmiAmi only allow you to do unreg SAL if the order is under 8000 yen.  So buying a coupler of cheaper items and using 300g unreg Sal per orders works out much cheaper than a 1kg ePacket 2000 yen or EMS 2900 yen parcel.  3x 300g unreg SAL parcels = 1140 yen.

Glad you're feeling better Medusa. How are you planning to DCC convert that little beauty?

[keiichi77]

I added a couple N scale items to my HO pre order from MTP. I have been watching a lot of youtube videos on the Sanriku Railway lately, the Type 36 DMU has been growing on me...well I also needed a powered unit to pull the "Kitto Zutto 2 Go" trailer I bought last year.

opps wrong thread, my bad sleep deprived

'Hey boss, the white train has just arrived!

 

'But we ordered a black one!

 

'No way, this is white. Should we send it back?

 

My Ibusuki no Tamatebako from Yavianice has just arrived (after it spent 3 days at the local post office due to that they did not find it in the office, I started to believe that it has been lost).

 

 

Of course I won't send it back, I like it soooo much, thank you Yavianice!

I’m happy it arrived! Enjoy!

I can do a post with the various Kato couplers which fit into the standard Rapido pocket if that's any help? I've standardised on their tightlocks for my EMU fleet as they're cheap, unobtrusive and stay together reliably, but also have the knuckle couplers with and without the dummy hoses on my KiHas and hauled stock.

It really would be amazing if you made that tutorial video!

OOhhh... so I forgot that this week I just got delivered the E231-500 Sumiko Gurrashi! Those little critters are so cute!!

 

 

[JR 500系]

And a really interesting purchase that I have been dreaming of for a really long time... and they finally had a promotion so I guess it's time!

 

I will connect it up and test it soon, as soon as I get hold of my white gloves!

 

 

[serotta1972]

Got a complete rural station, platforms and other trackside buildings and accessories from Ebay.  Hopefully this will be the beginning of my first module that will be the home of my many 115's and Kiha's.

A new train purchase using the Suica rule - because I rode it. :) And saw it many times while loitering on the platforms at the Tokyo Station.  I also really like double decker cars.

Junior you are going to be doing plaster cloth hills and making trees by next month!

Will do when my MoHa 152 arrives (I don't have anything with Rapidos to demonstrate the conversion with at the moment). Or the KuHa 111 I bagged on ebay yesterday.
