Japanese Auction Wins...

Ok, now I can show you some things that DID turn up today from the land of the rising sun. This time round it is not Takara, but rather the Ban-Dai ZZ Trains I previously mentioned in another thread.

I managed to get hold of some brand new sealed boxes of the 'blind boxes', 2 of the train sets, a bunch of 2nd user trains and track. In addition I also got a box of 'N gauge' japanese buildings. These like the ZZ Trains also come packed in 'blind boxes' so you don't know exactly what building you will get in any particular pack. These are distributed 'flat packed' so you have to assemble the buildings, but they are easy to assemble (or so they say) and fully painted/decorated so in other words ready to go. These are intended to go with my PlaRail Advance and TomyTec moving buses which are both ~ N Gauge in scale.

Anyway enough of my rambling, here's some pictures, in some I've put a normal PlaRail Suburban coach to give some sense of scale of these marvels of engineering

Shinkansens




Suburban/Express Trains




A single blind box of each



And the contents of said blind boxes, in this case they had two non-powered cars in each



A powered EF type loco



A three car Shinkansen type 0
