This is part of my Japanese N scale collection

This is a partial collection Japanese N scale model train which include a couple TOMIX set like Hello Kitty & Dr. Yellow.

Ive completed my first successful purchase from Hobby Search Japan

I just completed my first purchase through Hobby Search tonight. They have a strange system where you place an order with them then they send you an invoice via PayPal if thats your payment arrangement.
What did I purchase its a Kato 10-1834 Series E353 `Azusa, Kaiji` Standard Set (Basic 4-Car Set) (Model Train) N Scale,1/150 Electric Car. I've wanted this set for a while but Kato just released this set recently and Hobby Search had a good price on it and I wanted to see how there service was as they seem to have a big supply of N scale trains and parts. So this means I need to get the add on sets to make a 12 car train lol its never ends does it lol.

Yeah I know, I just ordered a 5 car add on set for the E353 arggggggggggggggggggh I really couldn't help it as the price was really too good to pass up and I ordered an EM113 decoder for the motor car of the basic set. I placed another order with Plaza Japan for the Kato 3 car E353 set so I'll have a 12 car set of the E353 series when they all show up. 

A couple of updates NCE USB interface and sending in the DZ126T in for repairs.

Yup I finally got a NCE USB interface to use so I can program decoders. I'm thinking about building a dedicated programming section.

Somehow the red wire on my DZ126T came off at the decoder so I'm sending it in for warranty repair. This sucks as I have no more decoders to use.

Hopefully this is the start to something new Digitrax DZ126T on deck

Today a Digitrax DZ126T showed up, I haven't installed a decoder in at least 10 years. I think the last decoder I installed was in a Tomix track cleaning car Which was actually successful believe it or not. The plan for the DZ126T is to install in in the recently arrived Hello Kitty 8 car Shinkansen. I think Ive found a good guide to use for the installation of the DZ126T, Its soooooooooooooooooooooo small you will never see it in the motor car even with a microscope.  

Hello Kitty has landed.

Today she showed up along with some nice goodies from Plaza Japan.
