oic... so buying N scale is better? xD

which shop in japan u always go?

last week the shop i saw is near sensoji temple.. one of the shopping malls

its just that the model i want only have N-scale.

I either go Tam-Tam in Akihabara, Tokyo or Volks in Denden town, Osaka

oic for starter like me... which scale u recommend? in terms of ease of installation, ease of buying accessories online....

please post more pics of ur train sets if u have time

i dont think i in position to recommend lol. i only interest in shinkansen and they only have N-scale (except E5 coming slowly)

and i dont use online. i buy when i go japan

oh haha i just ask my fren to buy for me tomix shinkansen n500 n scale from japan approx RM 390
heheh

probably will get this sunday !!!!!

hey i got my tomix fine track n scale train

b4 i start assembling.... may i ask how to disassemble? is it easy ???

lets say example i attached 2 tracks together in one complete loop.... how do i detach them without breaking?

attached is pic (not my pic)

is it by pressing somewhere along the yellow circle...can detach ? also how to remove the train that is already on the track ?

for safety better to refer to instruction manual

hmm different. the pic say put level and pull them apart.

my kato is like hold both side and break it like /\

oh put level and pull them apart... so easy

hahaha but the new track hold like glue... omg i hope i don break them apart.... kinda hard to pull them apart in a complete full circular track

kato is break /\

easier xD

kato n track and tomix n track cannot combine then

in msia nowhere sell this kinda track / accesorries right ??? must buy online or go japan ?
wat if i wanna extend the track into bigger tracks... using ONE train set... do i need to add power pack??? or no limit as long as all tracks are connected ?

track cannot combine but trains can run on either. Msia maybe got but very niche, no sure where can find also.

just go 1999 or amazon.jp find. MAybe we can share postage if the box not heavy (Like my viaduct set postage cost is RM200+, so rather just go japan buy lol)

this site also can buy in japanese... haha

wow very big box is it... luckily for me the starter box set brought by by fren... pay him rm 90 for luggage allowance only...

rm 200 u rather go japan buy? wah... u go there often for work is it

sure... we can share if we buy together

im planning to get elevated tracks and more tracks to expand my rail haha

boring to see it run circular mode

Reviving this thread!
Bought my first n gauge from Tam Tam akihabara yesterday. 165 series from Kato as well as led kit. Led not lighting up so heading back to Tam Tam now n hopefully they will look at it and tell me wats wrong with it.

The quality of my HO scale locos from kato are still the best... but cant afford to get more!

Wow that looks so awesome, r u running on dcc? I'm confused about dcc and need some dummy explanation if anyone knows.

boss, i am running dcc. previously my old layout in auckland i did combined using both dcc and analog on that layout. now here cannot do that due to space constraint

mind helping me out with some explanation? i read a lot n watch a lot of youtube video n still confused.
