Kato Super Rail Cargo sets 10-1418 & 10-1419 incoming

Today I proxy bid on the Kato Super Rail Cargo sets 10-1418 & 10-1419 and won. It's a great deal, I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid for it although it's used even these sets can command a high fee. I have this and some other nice goodies hopefully showing up next week.

New JR Railway Logo

I originally wanted the old Japan Railway Freight logo on my non-logo EH200 from Kato.  After doing more research I found out that Japan Railways is trying to unify its brand and make it more recognizable. They have been using an older logo to unify the brand. I printed out some JR logos on laser waterslide paper, which came out great. I made two sizes and the smaller size is the one that worked best, I put the new logo in the same position as the old one. I think it looks great and may do more in this fantasy scheme what do you think.  

World Craft Company J.R. Tokai Series KIYA97 Blank Rail Truck in progress

I've been cranking away at this kit which has been a learning experience not being able to read Japanese and Google Translate. It is going well if I say so myself the plans helped a lot and the big pictures were a blessing. I've done one car so far tomorrow I'll work on the second one.

Some good stuff from RG-ROKKO

This makes up for the small delivery that I got this week. I got a couple of goodies like the Yellow Koki and a nice paper building to work on. I can always use some re-railers, I got the book thinking it was something else so that's an L for me. The bottom pic are the new Koki that I just got, I filled them with containers lol have to get the products moving. The JR103 set includes the two GREENMAX JR103 series cars that I got from RG-ROKKO.  

JRF dry transfers arrive today

I've been looking for some JRF logos for my EH200 locomotives, but they were really difficult to find. I spotted some on Yahoo Japan auctions, so I placed a bid on them. They aren't bad, but they aren't 100% accurate, as the line under the JRF logo is too short.
