Tenshodo 500 Nozomi Shinkansen Japanese bullet train
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 24, 2004 3:25 PM
Hello all,

I have the basic 5 car set of the 500 Nozomi Shinkansen Bullet train. I would like to purchase at least two extra passenser coaches for it. If there is anyone that know were i can find them, please let me know.

Also, i am looking for extra passenger coaches for the Lima TGV in orange livery. The one that came in the bule boxes. Some of the coaches might be slightly different in color.

If anyone knows of how i can find these as well, i would appreciate your help.

Thank You.

Lima made two types of TGV, the original type with a simple "clip together" connection and the later "Nouvelle Generation" type which had a more complex articulation that shortened the distance between cars on straight track. Only the newer type have been available for some years now. However, Mehano do make cars with the older type of articulation, but I don't know if the original orange (PSE) cars are available.

Some Lima TGV intermediate cars of the "NG" type are available from "Tom's Hobbies" in Sydney Australia, but I'm not sure if they still have the orange cars. These cars are sold in sets of three, one set including the bar car.

Merry Christmas
