One of the largest HO 1/80 brass manufacturer's in Japan the Tenshodo company (of SPUD bogie fame) have gradually been introducing a range of plastic ready to run models in conjunction with the Bachmann company. The first offering was the JR West type 500 bullet train followed by a couple of steam locomotives and recently the popular type 103 commuter EMU sets in blue,yellow,green and orange, I hope to obtain a blue 4 car set at a later date.
My motley collection of freight stock by Tomix and kato can now be enhanced by a set of eight WaKi 10000 bogie box cars the same as the picture above introduced by Tenshodo this week. This brings my freight collection up to five trains, as there will be no shunting/switching on Futatsu no Kawa they will operate in fixed rake formation.
