Hello guys, I recently got these two Kiha 58 from Tomix. They are quite old (Tomix 2253) but after cleaning they still run pretty well.

The only thing I dislike about them is the fact they have the spring attached to the motor and not a worm gear which makes them so loud... Is there any possibility to upgrade them so they run a bit more quiet? Has anyone ever done anything like that?

If I would keep it 'stock' then the spring would need some grease any recommendations which grease to use in that case?

And one last thing, one of the body's sadly is in not the best shape and I would like to repaint it. Any ideas?

I was lucky enough to get my hands on all these.

Especially the Kiha 58 in the black and golden livery and the Hisatsu Orange Railway Type HSOR-100 look so amazing and have a lot of detail. But I think I like the Kiha 58 a bit more.

I hope you can see all the details in the picture I took.

The Aqua Liner came with interior lighting installed by the previous owner, that's amazing too ^^

Very successful Friday

I recently bought this beautiful 205-3100 series to run it on my dad's british n-scale DCC layout 😁

Yes, someone fitted it with decoders that's the only reason I bought it.

When it arrived I was so happy the prints were so amazing and it looked way better than I expected, big win 😁

When I looked this set up it seems this is a rare train? Does anyone know anything about it? It's Kato Roundhouse so I think it's a limited edition, but never thought it's this special 😅

Hello fellow Japanese N Scale enjoyers.

This is my first ever Reddit post, so please be kind.

I bought this nice 7 car set of the 211 series, the seller got it as an heirloom and sold it for a good price.

It runs smoothly and is in great shape, so I'm happy I got a new train :D

Does anyone know which set this is? It came in the Tomix box, on the undercarriage it says Kato but I couldn't find any 7 car sets from Kato on the internet.
