HO Scale Porter kit

[Koala Creek]

Not quite sure where to place this, so best to put this here ...

Toma  Model Works from Japan has recently released a beautiful kit of a narrow gauge 0-4-0 Porter locomotive. It's an HOn30 kit with a metal chassis and injection moulded parts for the body.



The good thing is that he also offers a static model with injection moulded parts for both the chassis and body:



... which is of course a great item to be place on a diorama. Something like this for example ...



The kits can be ordered directly from Toma Model Works.
According to the instructions, the static kit should not be that difficult to build.

J~,
      I agree with my much older brother from another mother!   Thanx Thom... (the not so cuter one).

[SteveCuster]

Very cool. It looks like it comes to around $162 USD.

[Koala Creek]

Yep, and the static model is about $40 USD.

That's a beauty. It makes me excited to see more HOn30 offerings...it's a tremendous scale/gauge with the same traits that made On30 explode...just a matter of having more equipment available for purchase. If not for Minitrains, I wouldn't have made the jump (that I always wanted to)...this is really encouraging!


thanks for sharing...John
