Looks like I need to chase some more overtime! 

Cheers,

Yes, Tramway is releasing alot of good (and new) stuff recently.  A nice contrast to Kato and Tomix, which seem to just reissue old models rather than expanding their 16.5mm lineup. 

Interesting choice with the DD16.  Not a big class (65 produced), but an appealing design.  There is a preserved example at the Otaru Museum, just down the Hakodate Main Line from where I live.

Are there any still running? Sometime ago I posted a clip of one in industrial service but it seems it's gone.

Apparently there are two examples still in JR service, one at the JR East Nagano Depot and the other at JR West's Toyama Depot.  There seem to be a few second-hand examples working in private railway service also.

Nice - I'll get the Hokkaido version - I seem to like Hokkaido and the area north of the tunnel.
