My (new) 211 Series

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.

A new delivery from RG-ROKKO

Today I got some odds and ends from RG-ROKKO. I got a couple of KATO EF65 JR EF65-0 JR & JR EF65-1000 late model I couldn't help myself after seeing the low prices and that video I posted I had to get a couple of them. I got a couple of non revenue cars KOKIFU10000 &  Suni41-2000. I received a TOMYTEC preorder Fire Pumper and Personnel, I also got some drive shafts for my Greenmax train.

KATO E235 Aftermarket Upgrades

Hello everyone. I am interested is kitting out my KATO E235-0 (山手線). Do you have any recommendations for aftermarket parts? What I am currently looking at doing is:
- Popponetta interior lights
- Urban craft interior stickers UK005 (let me know if you have any experience with these)
- Casco 11 car storage foam

Please let me know if you recommend any replacements parts like better pantographs, couplers, etc. Thanks!

Ginza shops?

I have a coworker headed to Japan in about a week with his family. He appreciates trains too and said they're spending their last day doing some shopping in the Ginza area (he's staying a bit East of Tokyo Station). He's willing to pick something up for me at the end of their trip if it isn't out of the way. Are there any shops you'd recommend in that area?

Soldering work on the Kato Unitrack turnout

My Kato 20-230 / 20-231 isn't switching. It’s great that I have a warranty for the new turnout—in Japan. 😂 I soldered the enameled wire from the coil, and now it works. I’m just telling myself it was shipping damage and didn't leave the Kato factory like that.

Kato 20-606 (auto signal)and stop signal button

Hi all I am in Japan getting some n scale stuff. I have picked up Kato 20-606 and want to get the optional signal button 24-848. I am having trouble finding it. Is there a way to wire them with without? It seems to be a momentary switch but I would like to make it latching. It's a 3 wire but the connector seems very small. Is there anything aftermarket that would work? Photo 1 shows a common connector size vs the one I need. Pic 2 shows the ACC wire connector. 3 and 4 are the instructions. I could buy the ACC extension and use that by cutting it but it is relatively expensive at 693 yen and I would like to have many signals.

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!
