I know, it's quite an impressive selection of new goods, bearing in mind they been out of production since 2002. But having said that I've already got a few that are different to those ones.
I also know I've not got anywhere near the entire range of loco's yet, for a start I've got a few used loco's I won in auctions since this lot was shipped which are new to me - for example the yellow 'Dr' shinkansen and a chromed steam loco.
To date I've had no luck finding any real resource on the net about these loco's and the overall range, I suspect the year it died 2002 is about the time the net started in earnest and since then of course we've had things like wiki's etc... but as it was by then a dead product line I guess nobody is interested.
Long term I'll probably put together an info site about them, but for the moment I'm just still gathering what I can while they are still available
And yes, eventually, I will be building a layout and at least showing the used loco's running, although knowing me I'll likely open up the new ones too eventually - I mean that's what they're intended for. But for now I'm still collecting track and scenery items as well as loco's to see what is possible to build

Happily collecting things all my life...
