Fake KuMoYa145

This is what I got when I asked Gemini to generate a picture of a KuMoYa145. It's a nice picture, but not so accurate ;-)

But the colour I asked for is correct!

Swag from RGR

The small swag I brought back from Japan last weekend (as well as a bag full of couplers for the KiHa125s).

They was kind enough to hold all the "Romancing Saga" stuff for me, for several months!

RG Rokko

For those of you who have never visited Rail Gallery Rokko in Kobe, hete are some shots of "a few" of their stocks. For some reason, the upstairs section was closed last Sunday.

New Tomix EF58-61

Anyone baulking at the price of the new PG level EF58-61 (Jap retail Y22,660)?
With previous releases being under Y10,000, this is like double the price! For what?

You get cab lighting that comes on when the loco is stopped and goes off when it's moving. The headlights also dim when the loco is stopped. But these functions only work with a Tomix CL controller!

You get fully spoked wheels, even the driving wheels.

The front deck seems to move on curves independantly from the bogies.

A few other small details, but is all this necessary and worth the extra cost?

These 2 items caught my eye on Yahoo Auctions, a KiHa91 & KiHa200 from the Nostalgic Tetsucolle 2 release.

They look the same but the front windscreens are different.

I just changed the couplers and have the motors waiting for me to collect when I visit RGRokko in 2 weeks time!
