I USED TO HAVE HO SCALE TARINS TOO, BUT THEN WE MOVED THE TABLE TO A DUSTY PORCH. I STILL HAVE THE TRACK, BUT IT DOSENT WORK. I HAD A SANTAFA DISEL ENGINE. I REMEBER HAVE TO OF THEM, ONE WAS A PASSENGER TRAIN. THE OTHER WAS ONE I GOT WHEN I WAS SEVEN, OR SIX, BUT SITL. IT WAS FREIGHT TRAIN. IT HAD THE RED AND SILVER PAINT.
I actually do. I like to collect rare, limited and exotic types of trains from all over the world and have been collecting them since 2002. For now Ive been taken some of them out for a test run before storing them back in their boxes to hopefully one day have a place for a layout to run and display them.
Have you ever had any luck (or interest) in finding any Japanese bullet trains in either HO or OO gauge? I can find plenty of N gauge, but never the bigger stuff. And they look so much cooler than the trains that pass the end of my garden all day!
Actually the only Japanese trains I have is Lima's HO version of the Bullet train. I know what you mean about not being able to find them in HO scale. By the way, what type of trains passes by your garden?
We get quite a variety passing by. There are a lot of 'local' services in Northern Trains livery - 142's, 144's, 158's etc. We also get a lot of Cross Country Voyager's and very occasionally HST's in the liveries of Grand Central, East Midlands Trains and National Express (although the National Express East Coast services have just been nationalised this week by the government.....so I guess that means that as a taxpayer, I'm now a part owner in the UK's railway!
The trains don't pass much where I live and have to travel 45min. away to get to see different trains pass by like you do. The only trains I get to see is the NJ Transit that passes every hour.
I have in HO scale the 158's in the NSE colors and three sets of HST in the GNER & 125 colors.

jmsschooner 1 year ago
These sets are from the Branchline series made by Bachmann. Unfortunately this set has no DCC or sound.

can you couple the both of them togeather to become 1 train?
Albear20 2 years ago
Sorry for responding late, but yes it can be coupled together by changing the dummy style couplers over to working ones.
