Endo - エンドウ



KATO -モデル

sbaglio o la Endo della prima foto ha l'imperiale imbarcato? comunque un gran bel modello. le ferrovie giapponesi non sono solo shinkansen!

Avete notato che sui Cab-Ride presenti su You Tube, la quantità di convogli che percorre una singola linea giapponese nell'arco di pochi minuti? E' impressionante!

Ciao,

la mia EF66 in ottone da KTM/Katsumi Mokeiten (anni 70), HO 1/80:

Posseggo due Ef 57 di Endo: come hai visto, una ha l'imperiale affetto da Zinkpest, l'altra fortunatamente è ancora integra.

Se ti son piaciute le Ef 57, probabilmente ti piaceranno le EF 58

Hallo Martin,

deine japanische Lokomotive EF66 ist wirklich wunderschön.
Ich habe es nicht in dem Brown Book gefunden.

Wo hast du es gekauft?

Hallo,

was ist das "braune Buch"? Ich kenne nur ein braunes Buch mit allen Tenshodo-Modellen. Die KTM EF66 war z.B. im Endo-Katalog von 1980 gelistet. Ich habe sie gebraucht bei "EasyAuctionJapan" gekauft.

what's the "brown book"? I just know a brown book with all Tenshodo models. The KTM EF66 was listed in the 1980 Endo-catalogue. I bought it (used) on "EasyAuctionJapan".

Hi there, Martin,

I answer you in English, so that everyone can understand.

The “ Brown Book” is a catalog of all H0 Scale brass locomotives imported into the United States through about 1992.

It lists models by class and type, manufacturer, and importer.
Plus, features production runs, as well as the original selling price. Illustrations help to identify numerous items.
Information on maintenance, handling, modifications, factory and custom painting is given, as is advice on building and displaying.

Hi,

never came accross this book, maybe because it doesn't really cover my interrest. American brass is not, what I was looking for in the past. Japanese domestic models were hardly exported, simply because there was just a very limited interrest in those things. When I was a teenager back in 1980, my friend's parents brought me an Endo catalogue from a trip to Japan, that's why I'm a little bit familiar.

Meanwhile, totally different, I'm married to a Japanese and I'm a frequent visitor to Japan. Just this summer I found me browsing through ancient model railway magazines at Poppondetta's in Hachioji, where I found an ad from 1968 with exactly this KTM EF66. Back in Germany I had to get one.... I collected some other japanese N and HO as well over the years.



Cheers,

Martin

Scóltime Nanniag,

te ga ragion, ma chi no ga treni no ga remission.

Non ce la fa neanche Google Translate
Prova direttamente col Giapponese.....

.... a dire il vero io uso la app scaricabile dal sito MS per Win10 e traduce 10000 volte meglio di Google Translate ....

Qualcuno degli appassionati - piacciono molto anche a me - di ferrovie giapponesi, sa dove poter trovare un elenco di produttori/modelli giapponesi in scala H0?.
Ho qualcosa in N di Kato e Micro Ace, ma la N la vorrei dismettere, e non solo sul versante giapponese.
Troppo piccola

Kato, Tomix, Endo (ora MR-Endo) e Modemo producono anche modelli in scala H0 1:80
