Has anyone tried their hand at making vehicles? I did see the post with the little Mercury. Although an amateur, I may try filing some vehicles out of styrene or other suitable material. All I can do until the manufacturer gets busy!

That tells me the world wide demand for Eishindo's T-gauge train line will stimulate further development of this scale, like turnouts, flex-track, and more locos and rolling stock.

Resolution may be a little coarse though. You can see some rough spots on their N and Z models already _________________ Brian Austin Back to top David K Smith Chief Cook and Bottle Washer Joined: 03 Sep 2008 Posts: 435 Location: New Jersey, USA Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 1:17 pm    Post subject: MT&O wrote: I learned from Plaza Japan that the manufacturer is out of stock for vehicles. Interesting. I never saw them in stock! They must have sold out before they hit the shelves.

Resolution may be a little coarse though. You can see some rough spots on their N and Z models already Much as I like the idea of having RP vehicles, MMM would not be a good option for T scale. Their products are coarse in Z scale; they'd be awful in T. Not to mention they're a serious PITA to paint. A better option is Herpa Wings 1:500 vehicles. Only slightly small for T, but much better finish, particularly their "classic" auto collection. http://www.herpa.de/collect/(S(0hajs0avjiz52g55ook20iaj))/detail.aspx?ProductID=520300&lang=en-GB&express=1&thumb=1 _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top MT&O Joined: 05 Dec 2008 Posts: 16 Location: Great Falls, Montana Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 8:48 am    Post subject: Thank you for the Herpa link. I saw two airport accessory sets that had several vehicles in them. Now to track down the best way to get them! Note: Just ordered the most vehicle laden pack from airline museum.com; hope this turns out well Back to top MT&O Joined: 05 Dec 2008 Posts: 16 Location: Great Falls, Montana Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 9:51 pm    Post subject: I received my Herpa vehicles today (shipping was way over-priced). Anyhow, the vehicles are of good quality and better looking than I could have imagines. They do look too small next to my Type 103, and obviously they are. However, you takes what you can get for now. Here's hoping Eishindo makes lots of vehicles and motorbikes next year.

Yes, and when Eishindo does, we can relegate the Herpa vehicles to the background--perfect for forced-perspective! _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top MT&O Joined: 05 Dec 2008 Posts: 16 Location: Great Falls, Montana Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2008 12:09 am    Post subject: The Postman just dropped my Herpa Catering trucks. Although still a bit small, they will take the roll of panel vans when I modify the lift. They are more pleasing to the eye. High quality just like the cars, and you can ready the tiny logos and such easily because it is so sharp. I am pleased with these.

Don't let the images on the website fool ya... Compare that to what Eishindo is releasing... _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top trainspotter-usa Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 315 Location: Minnesota Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 10:23 pm    Post subject: Tucked away on the Eishindo website is this http://www.kk-eishindo.co.jp/777.html I know the main focus is the Boeing 777 with flashing lights but in the picture underneath are some airport service vehicles including what appears to be a very nice looking bus.

I only ordered them Monday! They look awesome as good as in the photo when its sunk in I'll post some more details but they won't look out of place on a 1:450 scale layout I'm sure.

Just got mine today, too. They are real beauties, aren't they? I can't get over how slick-looking they are, especially the busses. I wish Gemini Jets made more... _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> T Gauge Products All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum General Forum----------------Welcome!Trading Post Modeling Forum----------------Tips, Tricks and AssistanceT Gauge ProductsModeling in TLayout ShowcaseModular Frame of MindNarrow Gauge  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
