Announced by JR West today. Doctor Yellow will be retiring in January 2027 and the 500 Series will be pulled from service that same month with its retirement set for July 2027.
I recently installed the DENSHA.me dedicated lighting kits for my Romancecar 70000 GSE and 50000 VSE so I decided to put them out together for their inaugural run! While installing the lighting I also filled both trains with 1/200 miniature seated passengers. Here they are waiting at the station on my layout.
The Greenmax set was also announced after this post. Takamatsu Kotohira Electric Railway 1200 Series (Reprint Kotochan Hyakugo Type) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HKGPlbFbwAEq5TS?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
THE ROYAL EXPRESS has been fully announced!
Big fan of the Odakyu Romancecar lineup, maybe second only to the Kintetsu limited express trains. I hope to get all of them one day including the somewhat elusive 20000 RSE.
From front to back:
The GSE and VSE have dedicated interior lighting from DENSHA.me; I haven't put any into the LSE or NSE because they are kind of annoying to install. Maybe some day I will do it.
