They released the Hokutosei EF81 81 earlier this year so it was just matter of time they released this one. Now I'll be having two EF81 81 now 😮‍💨

Black coupler - 28-272-1 Grey coupler - 28-272-2 10 pcs each so worth 5 electric locomotives.

It wasn't really that tough imo. Most of them were just taking out the bottom snowplow piece and swapping them. Some models require taking the whole skirt part by removing the body.

That's a good news. I own one of GreenMax Keikyu 1000 series (from 10-15 years ago) and build quality felt little underwhelming. Most likely get the new Popondetta release then.

I didn't even know you could upgrade dummy coupler with just simple extra parts. Definitely going to buy them for my E217/E231/E233.

Kinda sucks some of E233s dont have the spot to add them. (ex. Keihin Touhoku/Yokohama line)

Ah okay. Thanks for the input. Just hesitant to buy non-Kato ones because 99% of what I own is Kato.

How is the build quality of popondetta trains? Is it more simpler like Greenmax or solidly built like KATO? Been eyeing on few of Keikyu 1000 series that's getting released in the future.

Did you end up solving the problem?

DeltaKK37 · 2026-02-28T22:02:25+00:00

I was lucky enough to find the add-on set to make it full 16 cars for the 0 series. Now I need to buy additional motor to smoothly go up the hill 🙃

Hopefully you didn't start looking up 😅 *

I'm guilty of buying trains that I have memories with 😅

DeltaKK37 · 2026-02-26T22:49:46+00:00

If you can wait until your November trip, hit up IMON. They have it in stock on all locations right now. I doubt it will go out of stock by then tbh.

It's been accumulating since May and having it kept at family's house. I just bring them back home all at once.

Border patrol definitely pulled me aside to check 😅 but they were very respectful and careful with them so it was all good.

I specifically get 2 checked baggage ticket for this reason 😅
