So it seems that there are two different versions of the E351 Series Super Azusa. There is 10-358 and 10-359 and 10-1342 there is also a corresponding 4 car set 10-1343 as well. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two sets but its quite normal for Kato to re-release a set to the public.
That's right I didn't even get to run it and I broke it. I tried to install a decoder in it and didn't remove the bogie correctly and broke a pin on the power bogie that goes into the chassis. I've looked on the internet and no one has one in stock I've checked Hobby Search and Plaza Japan and will reach out to other English speaking Japanese shops.
This is the part I need https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10820630
Below is the power bogie and the broken side and the un-broken side.
If you know of a shop that has these in stock please let me know.
I forgot to post that I purchased a Kato 8 car Super Azusa set lol.
I added some screws to the sides of the enclosure to secure the top and bottom portions together and keep curious eyes away from my DCC-EX Command Station. I also add the reset buttons although Ive never had to use them before I thought it would be a nice addition. I had to add some glue to the ends of the reset buttons because they are a hair short so adding some glue will lengthen them a little. The final additon to the case are feet not that the case needed them but its cool.
I got connected to my DCC-EX Command station wirelessly and it was awesome I'm UNTETHERED it feels so good.
I 3D printed out the bottom portion of the DCC-EX enclosure courtesy of Sumner’s Thingiverse Case Page. I'll be printing out the top portion on Monday then posting the complete enclosure asap.
Yup I guess I have too many trains that I didnt realize that I have a N scale Bachman Spectrum 2-6-6-2 DCC equipped steam locomotive. I guess I need to do better inventory of my N scale trains huh?
