Japanese Locomotives

[Supermint]

One thing I noticed lacking in Locomotion is Japanese Locomotives and cars. I know there are 2 different bullet trains (00 series by the almighty chris himself and an 800 series someone else can't remember who did)
Does anyone know where I can get these items or it would be intresting to have them as a project. I cant make locos for squat.
Thanks for the help.
Some good info can be found on http://www.katomodels.com/index_e.shtml
The site supplies n-scale models. Im buiding a set myself using the stuff

I already have those. Im thinking of the EF65-1000 or EF510 etc.

I know there is an import of the Kuju made models for MSTS of the KIHA 31 & 140. Plus, I'm working on some japanese commuter trainsets.

Thanks WTTPSCS. I would also love to see some Japanese freight engines. with Japanese wagons.
If anyone is willing to build these I will provide pictures of the wagons/engines as I have a few of them as models now.

If you have 3-d models I can create lots of trains but, I also need the specs. I'll need the models in Kuju shape file(.s) or .3ds file format. (If you have both availble, I love to have both. ) However, I am not (unfortunately...) a 3-d modeler, so I can't make the models. (unless if you want an industrial/water tank for Trainz... )

The stuff i need (other than the shape)

• Name
• Horsepower
• Maxium speed
• Weight (in US tons)
• Cargo capsidy
• Date avilable
• Date obslete
• Some photos

I'll start the development topic soon, in the next week or two. I'll have some photos posted there.

Sorry my bad. The wagons/cars and engins I have are litteraly models for my model train set. I can provide photographs of the models.

Here's a Shinkansen JR500 I downloaded a while back, unfortunately it's the only Shinkansen I could find there (don't know about other Japanese trains). Be warned though, the carriages are scaled realistically, so they're quite a bit longer than vanilla LoMo locs/carriages!

[Supermint]

Thanks strategia but I already have that one. I have most of the bullet trains. Its the other kinds of loco im after

Maybe ask one of the creators that could make something from photos.

Sounds like a good idea. But which one to choose.

[Strategia]

I have most of the bullet trains.

All I have are the Series 0 and the JR500, do you have links to others? I LOVE the Shinkansen trains, but I haven't been able to find any others (besides the ones I mentioned) for LoMo.

[Supermint]

I cant remember the links to them. I mainly used google to find them.

Don't know, mabe an older member of the forum (older means they been here longer) would know who to ask. But don't forget the golden rule: "Be nice or it will come back to get you."
Plus, I noted that the some moderators seem to be tense, I guess some new people aren't even reading the rules & gudelines and abiding by them...

A good idea. I found Locomotion-fanpage that way, and another site. (Oh, if I could remember...)

Correct.
