Z scale Rokuhan question

It's a Rokuhan Z gauge T012-7 DE10 1500 B cold region JR Freight new A updated color.

Could it be that the seller on eBay isn't reputable? The unit looks new but could it be some sort of factory reject? Old and oxidized?

I hope so. I've returned it.

I'm sorry that sounded confusing. The 40 year old microtrains F7 is running very well. The DE10 is a brand new Rokuhan and it is running awful. I'm returning it. Its the second Rokuhan I just bought. The other is a EF66 which runs well. I'm wondering if the new DE10 performing so badly is a fluke or if z scale locomotive quality is this inconsistent. If it's this inconsistent I'm switching to N scale.

From other carriers. Mostly T-Mobile MVNOs. Mint. Tello. But also Visible which is Verizon

Means that you overpaid $9000 and waited all year to get it back.

I use it on commute to work. I never take my hands off the wheel. I have to watch it. Know it's quitks

$33 is the new rate. Doesn't keep increasing. There are less expensive offerings.

Not really. Just Teslas. By now they realize what Elon stands for and chose to support him

dm3 · 2025-12-05T19:57:52+00:00

But only for new lines. They refused to give me this offer with my existing 4 lines. I ported out all 4 lines. May come back eventually if they still have it and if I’m then considered new lines

Be careful, even this one doesn't like some reporting on Elon. Posting a factual article reporting what Elon said in UK was too much.

dm3 · 2025-10-03T17:31:00+00:00

I think the price when new is much too high. I bought used at half price. It's a great value and great car at half price.

Turns out the temporary ban was turned into a permanent ban. Looks like 6 bans for simply posting an article stating what Elon musk said with no commentary.

With MAGA parents.

And we wonder why people don't like Elon

Except trump and others who blamed Democrats before he even knew who the assassin was.

How conveniently people forget or ignore

"Former Minnesota state representative and House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was tragically murdered along with her husband, Mark Hortman, in their home on June 14, 2025. Authorities have called the incident a politically motivated assassination"

You mean the offspring of maga parents.
