Pretty frustrated with some N scale train dealers lately

I'm trying to source a Kato 10-570 E531 Series Joban Line 4-Car Set to go with my 8 car set/ So I ordered from Osborn's Models in London as they have the set I wanted on their site so I placed an order for it. I wasn't too sure if it had a motor car in the set or not so I emailed them asking and no response for 5 days. This is ridiculous why have a product on your site if you don't have it in stock whatever there is no reason at all for this and not to answer emails. I filed a dispute with PayPal which I have to wait until May 3 for some reason what the actual hell. If you listed something on a website in the US and didnt have it in stock and took money for it that would be called stealing. lt looks like they don't have any in stock now hmmmmmmm what a coincidence. I saw the same set on eBay so I placed and order there too, I wake up the next day the seller responded that he didnt have it in stock and offered my an immediate refund, It looks like some people dont know how to run a business. I've abandoned my desire to find the motor set for the E531 set since there is a new set coming out in September. I'm now interested in the KATO N gauge JR 701-0series Akita Color 3-cars Set Plastic 10-1557 and 10-1558. It looks like a lot of people dont know they are selling on eBay lol. 

                                                                                                                               

Got a new building and added disco leds to my trains.

 Yup thats right I got a new building to me it looks like a hotel of a High rise correctional faculty. The new building is the one on the left next to the taller building.  

And here are my "Disco Trains"

Back on the horse

 It's been a while since Ive posted here or anywhere for that fact. Ive totally forgot about this blog but will start to post more. 

This week I got a 11 car E235 Yamanote series set from Plaza Japan this has been a grail of mine and now I have it. I built a N scale building from Outland Models in China below are some pics of both items. I've also been working or getting my NCE DCC system back in working order.

Happy New Years

Happy new years to all the model railroaders out there regardless if you model in O,HO, T or Z scale. May 2010 be filled with lots of model railroad enjoyment and good health.

All Aboard - Kinda

Well yesterday I got my 4+2 E531 Joban Commuter cars via ACE_of_Bicycle which is one of the biggest set of trains I have. I must say that its pretty cool have a 10 car set rolling on your layout, 15 cars I think would have been overboard I think. Most of the trains I have are Shinkasens and are 7-8 cars in length, so even 2 car makes a pretty big difference to me.I need to replace the light board in one of my end cars somehow I think I damaged one of the LEDs. When the train is put into reverse the red light do not come on . I verified that the normal and reverse lights were working with another end car so it has to be the light board.
