Mister No's Pics & Vids

It seems the 300 is everyone's favorite...

My Favorite is the Enoden 20. I love the angles at the front and the shape of the windows.

Thanks for the info Mr-No

I agree AOF...that is a nicely detailed Enoden.

For tram fans... and those who are about to become tram fans!

Trams are great! They reduce congestion in city centres by providing people with a quick, reliable, high-quality alternative to the car. Travelling by car produces over three times as much CO2 as travelling by tram. Trams make cities nicer places to be. They improve local air quality because they run on electricity so don’t produce any pollution at the point of use. They are very quiet and safe. Trams improve the image of a city and contribute to economic regeneration. A tram is a visible, permanent way of showing that an area is being invested in for the future. It attracts businesses and tourists, and helps people access jobs and services. Trams are so... civilised!










Here is the new video:

Another well made video Mr-No. Thanks for sharing

Question:
What is this Track piece and where might it be from?

Oh, that's an old one. It's the lid of the Thomas Bucket Set:



I have two of them, they are like town-borders on my layout. One (the one you noticed) is an exit from Kamakura Station on the way to Enoshima and (to the right) to the Inamuragasaki Station...

Enoden 1000 turning right on his way to Inamuragasaki Station

... and the other one is located at the entrance of my Fujisawa Sunny Street Station:



It's very usable on double track layouts. And it looks great. I would love to have the green one too:

Yes I have that Tomica World bucket with the green lid it is one of my favorite things in my collection the livestock car variant is exclusive to this bucket!!!

I had quite a lot of those Livestock wagons as they are the only ones that actually have livestock in them. I removed all the live stock and put them in the dark brown version and the blue version of these wagons. I do remember though that there are 2 slightly different versions released in the color of the Steam Train set ones above. The difference, if I remember correctly is a slight difference in the chassis where one has a cover over the axle and the other does not. I no longer have those so I can't show a comparison picture. The other Livestock wagon like this came in a Tomy 3 pack of rolling stock...at least that is what this old brain tells me.

If I remember correctly there are 4 versions of this Livestock wagon. Dark Brown, Medium Brown with matching colored roof like above, a Light brown with white roof and a blue one.

Some cattle van info:
The medium brown van with cattle inside has been available in normal Plarail sets since the 1970s


I've seen it with yellow and red wheels before


James came with the dark brown cattle van for many years, from his introduction to the 2003 redesign in Japan and from 1998 to the HiT Toys era of Trackmaster elsewhere. Later on it was used with other engines, I believe Fisher Price used it with Skarloey later on


The light brown with white roof comes from the new version of the giggling freight cars set


The blue one was available with Splatter in the HiT Toys era


And there were a ton of versions done for the various Thomas wagon packs they were doing a few years ago, too many to fit in one post





There is another version in the 25th anniversary pack with the shiny Thomas with the bow on his bufferbeam, for example

Thanks Duck...I had completely forgotten about all the fancy ones. Ah, your pictures show what I was talking about with the 2 versions of the medium brown chassis being different with axle covers on the older one with red wheels.

The medium brown one was also available with a 3 pack.



Hope Mr-No doesn't mind this slight detour on his Thread.

Of course he doesn't!

I have the livestock wagon too, the dark one that came with this set:

[Super]

That one is my favorite.
