Added details to the Series E531

Well I couldn't leave well enough alone, I decided to detail my new commuter train will the antennas or whatever those things are on the front and end cars. I also added the number board to the light up portion of the front and end cars as well. Thank goodness there is only two cars that need that added. Im thinking about adding the other stickers as well someday. Now Ive got to look at pricing LED light sets as well. Stay tuned for my mis-adventures in detailing it should be pretty interesting to read. Oh I almost forgot to mention I got to try out my Kato double crossover switch and it worked like a charm, good old Kato no wonder Im a sucker for their products.

My first commuter train set Series E531 Joban

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.
