Well it showed up today, my Series E531 and Im very happy with it. I'll be happier when I see it running which may take a while, we'll see. Im very impressed by the level of detail on all the cars especially the pantograpgh car it's pretty amazing. I think Im going to go all out on theis model, like including lights adding details and stickers. I cant wait to order the next set. I think Im going to order the 4+2 set then order the 5 car add on set, hopefully thats the way it'll pan out. Below is a picture of the new set on my window sill, yes I know I need to paint lol.

Placed contract order for 15 car E531 trainset
Dont get too excited lol, I placed an order for a the Kato 10-571. Every other week I will place an order for the other sets need to complete a 15 car set. Yippe I finally pulled the trigger on a commuter set, its about time. But you have to admit that there's a lot of reasoning that goes into picking what may be your only commuter train. Therefore its not a easy choice to make, but I glad I finally made the choice.
Congratulations on post # 52
None of my other blogs have passed 49 posts except for this one which will be at post 53 soon. Congratulations are in order, have a drink on me.

E531 Series Joban Line - Finally
Yup after looking and looking and more looking Ive decide on a Commuter train. My choice of commuter train is the E531 Series Joban Line. It can be configured as a 5-10 or 15 car set depending on its destination. The E531 is also a suburban train as well a a express train which gives lots of different running possibilities.
Click on the link to Wikipedia to learn more about the E531 Series. Another reason I choose the E531 Series is because its less complicated to get than the E231 Series Yamanote to put together and I found it at a good price.
Although the E231 Series Yamanote will be the train I desire to own it'll have to wait until a E51 series is introduced or it becomes cheaper the E531 will do until that happens. This will kill two birds with one stone, I may put the nanny cam into the E531, Im sure that there is more than enough space for the cam to fit.

Who do I Sacrifice - Wireless Video Camera Project
Latley Ive been stuck on building a wireless video camera car. I dont want to use one of my current models as a donor train so I need some suggestions. I'd like this train to be a special train like a inspection train or MOW train, even a tram. Im looking for something that has clearance for a camera and a 9 volt battery. A single motorized E231 may work but Im not sure if the motor feedback would affect the camera or not.
