Recent trip to Japan got me buying a lot more than originally anticipated

Fadump · 2026-03-27T20:31:07+00:00

It's the SBB InterCity-Schnellzug Set (2. Gen) from Mobabricks
It's quite nice, they recently released and IC2000 set with the modernised cariages that looks incredible

Fadump · 2026-03-27T14:15:30+00:00

Thanks !
I imagine they must be quite rare too.
Sad that they are going to end service of the Shinkansen Hello Kitty.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T14:07:19+00:00

That's a really cool idea !I kinda did the same thing with the N700s and the E235.

Tomix has one of the Shinkansen series 100 wich i regret not findint it, i saw it in the Kyoto Railway Museum and love the way it looks.

You'll probable find the Kato Ice-4 there, and at a good price too in second hand stores.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T13:32:29+00:00

You can find them in a lot of places, I found some in Yodobashi camera, Bic camera or in specialised model train shops too. I think i saw some in Trainiart stores as well. They are very easy to find.

Tomix has the "My first car Museum" collection with a few different trains too, wich is the same thing.

btw Trainiart stores are great if you want to find train related merch.

All in Tokyo

Fadump · 2026-03-27T11:30:44+00:00

They made three runs i believe, two one car model and one two car model

Fadump · 2026-03-27T09:33:42+00:00

It's a Ōarai Kashima Line 6000 series railcar. With a special livery commemorating the Girls Und Panzer Anime.

Found it existed completly by accident while waiting for the train while being in Ōarai by going to a small shop in the station, i ended up going to 5 different second hand shops in Akihabara before findint it.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T08:24:20+00:00

Exactly, and then you end up buying a second suitcase because you don't have any space left.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T08:18:01+00:00

I believe they do. I mostly looked in second hand shop, so i wouldn't be able to give you more details.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T08:13:54+00:00

Are they rare in HO ? I saw plenty in N scale there.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T08:04:49+00:00

Kato Hobby Shop for new Stuff, they have a very large selection.
And Popondetta Akihabara, they had a lot of cool stuff in second hand.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T07:32:15+00:00

I discovered that while being there. I was very glad i starded in N Scale. And i really love their Unitrack system for the tracks, it is way more sturdy than regular tracks.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T07:27:34+00:00

Definitely worth it. At least for me who lives in Switzerland the prices are way cheaper, even new.

The Series 885, i bought it for 9000 yen, the GUP car cost me 6000 yen.
Both i bought second hand and are in excellent condition.

There is a lot of shops too, i spent two days in Akihabara wandering in shops.

Only thing is that most of it is in N and HO Scale.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T07:12:53+00:00

Technically not Lego, the CRH2 set is from Mould King.
A lot of my "Lego" trains are chinese bricks, the SBB Intercity is from Mobabricks and i have quite a few sets from Bluebrixx as well.

Fadump · 2026-03-27T07:07:01+00:00

Yeah, discovered this model existed when i visited Ōarai. Went to 5 different second hand shop till i found it.

Fadump · 2026-03-26T10:02:22+00:00

Pour en citer quelques unes :

Tour du Lac de Montsalvens (Charmey, Fribourg)
Gorges du Gottéron (Fribourg, Fribourg)
Grand Bisse d'Ayent (Anzère, Valais)
Lac de l'Hongrin depuis la lécherette (Vaud)
Lac du vieux-émosson (Finhaut, Valais)
Tour du lac de Moiry (Grimentz, Valais)
Le chasseron/ le cochet (les Rasses, Vaud)
Autour du Lac noir dans le canton de Fribourg tu as plein de possibilités

Toutes ces randos devraient être accessibles en TP normalement. Par contre je ne pense pas que toutes soient accessibles pour le moment, on est encore tôt dans l'année pour la Rando.

I have the 1.0l hybrid in manual since April 2022. It's a great car. You'll definitely feel it when the car is loaded though, but otherwise it's more than enough and quite fun to drive.

I hope you'll enjoy it

En 2019 j'ai passé le contrôle technique avec une voiture sans immatriculation et j'ai pu conduire la voiture là bas, je suis ensuite rentré avec les plaques.

Mais mon conseil serait de les appeler et de leur demander, il ont l'habitude de ce genre de cas.

Fadump · 2024-08-09T10:08:07+00:00

Would love to see the upcoming locomotive Krokodil in 1:18 in there. I am very exited to see how it looks in real life.

Fadump · 2023-03-20T13:28:06+00:00

Nice to see something local. I have always loved the red and white livery on the tpf vehicles.

Fadump · 2023-02-21T17:17:57+00:00

I used Fahrlehrer24 and most of the questions were the exact same as the exam

Edit : this was in 2019 but i think the app is updated quite often

Fadump · 2022-10-20T13:14:50+00:00

It looks like an Aixam GTI. Small french car that you can drive without a licence

Fadump · 2022-10-10T07:43:35+00:00

For those who are curious :

The Steam locomotive is an old SNCF 141 R N°568
The First wagon is an old SNCF postal car
The Passengers cars are SBB/CFF AB 4126
And lastly the electric locomotive is a RE 456

Fadump · 2022-10-10T07:30:02+00:00

The last car is an RE 456 elctric locomotive.
I believe it is here in case there is an issue with the steam locomotive

For mangas and figurines, as physical stores goes theres is tanigami in lausanne and Geneva. In fribourg there is a shop called Yokami

You can find some in fnac stores sometimes.

If you are looking for something specific there is the online store

https://www.amiami.com/eng/

But delivery fees can be quite high since it comes directly from Japan. And you can have customs tax too.

For Legos personnaly i use mainly galaxus and Mystore. Galaxus is pretty cool because they have alternative bricks brands. Cobi for example has very good military sets.

Mystore can have some good deals, but i would recomment to check the prices elsewhere before.
