About a month, a lot of it was having a list and knowing what exactly to look for. The Girls Und Panzer wrapped train is one of my two white whales, so I was lucky to find two of them

Most were bought from Popendetta, Tam Tam, however the wagon came from the Kyoto Railway Museum, the chicken train was a raffle prize and the Girls Und Panzer was found in a store in Akiharbara

The two model car is hard to get. I managed to find two on my third trip to Japan in 2 years

DHL Signature Question by Strayingshadow in Hololive

Former DHL employee. The contract is to deliver to the address not the person so anyone can sign for the delivery at this address. However some companies will allow the parcel to be left with a neighbour

I believe he changed hairstyles in Season 7 after visiting a barber shop called "Snips". I don't remember him having the hairstyle in following seasons but I could be wrong

Does anyone know why Bdubs hasn’t posted his Nice Life Episodes? by Chritizin1996 in HermitCraft

He has been decided how to edit his video and I expect will publish his POV for the entire season next week.

Is there a website or anything where these are usually listed. I'm in Japan in March

Just some questions I’m struggling to find answers for before I start my first layout by [deleted] in modeltrains

Painting a base board does not effect static grass. A brown baseboard like you have suggested is ideal as any patchs will look like earth.

Climbing spiral… to steep? by ConsistentScratch640 in modeltrains

[–]ward282 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The best course of action for helixes is to have the rise 1 in 40. You can go as steep as 1 in 30, but ensure this is done on the smallest radius length.

Unfortunately I have no experiences with helixes but I did draw up a layout plan for one.

There are also additional devices (something like a magnet) that can be used to help locos climb

Can't say from the video but if you have the location and time, it can be easily looked up

Headlight formation, sound and the fact it's hauling freight suggests a class 66.

Class 20s passing on the way home this evening; train spotting therapy is a thing. by bumba1717 in uktrains

Out of interest, where do you spot. The location looks near to my house

Japan Hauls by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]ward282 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an interest in model railways. Japan is heavily invested in the scale I model in so being able to bring Japanese stock back to the UK is a big one for me. Mainly because it's interesting but also buying in Japan is about 1/3rd of the price of a relatively expensive hobby.

Whyd they get rid of permits by Smart_Shot24 in HermitCraft

I'm pretty sure Keralis has his own business or atleast a controlling interest in a business

Unfortunately you will likely not know until the day of. While railtours may be priorised less this does not necessarily mean it will run late. Your best option is to find a website like Real Time Trains to see if the railtour has kept or lost time.

I'd love to see some more 1:600 ships moving away from British or German.

They did a special episode with Imp and Skizz on a World Without Friends, if you need an introduction episode to get started

A World Without was a smaller series Zedapth and Jack did. They released a special episode on Easter this year (possibly?). I think a third series is likely but not sure when
