Miyazawa Model Store Sale Product Exhibition Report - Tenshoudou-

Hi everyone, this is Kapinozuka.
This is a report from the new products exhibition held by a wholesale store.

★1/80 Toshiba 40t Standard Convex Series

Here is the small convex style electric train produced by Toshiba, between the middle of the Pacific War to the after the war. Created for the transport of freight trains, its achievement didn't stop at just being used by the government railways, but also been used by places all over Japan. Naturally, the name and coloring is different for each purchaser of the train, so this time, there are 8 items productized at HO gauge (1/80 scale), starting with the unpainted version.

JNR ED29 11 (ED37 1) (Toshiba electric locomotives 40t standard convex)

The Japanese National Railways version is the orthodox Brown coloring.

Nagoya Railroad Deki 600 Type New Color (Toshiba electric locomotives 40t standard convex)

The Nagoya Railroad is still in use even now. It has gone under renewal works, so it will probably still be in action for a good while. This product has used the coloring of the new version.

And here are the rest of the series, each by different companies.

- Tobu ED4010 Type
- Keisei Deki 1 Type
- Nagoya Railroad Deki 600 Type 1 Light
- Nagoya Railroad Deki 600 Type 2 Light
- Nankai ED5151 Type
- Toshiba 40t-unpainted standard convex

They are small locomotives, so you can get good enjoyment with a small layout, using short formation freight trains. According to the advert at the exhibition, the release date is scheduled to be February next year.

★1/80 Suha Type 32 Passenger Car Series (Suha 32/Suhafu 32/ Mani 36)

The HO gauge Suha type 32 passenger train consists of the following three types, Suha type 32, Suhafu type 32, and Mani type 36, each with different specifications and has multiple variations, a total of 18 items are scheduled to be released, and they were displayed at the exhibition, single cars each. I think these passenger trains would be great to have the steam and electric locomotives from the Japan National Railway days to tow, don't you think?

Suhafu type 32


Mani type 36


They announced that the release date would be after early spring (currently winter, here in Japan). Here at Hobby Search, we are currently taking pre-orders so don't miss out!

I'll just quickly touch on the difference between each variation... The ones with grape color No.1 uses darker brown than grape color No.2. The difference between SG and ED is the method of heating. Other than that, there are also variation of door and window too.

★ 1/500 Tenshodo Seikan Ferry (Tsugarumaru Class)

Here is the series I hear is very popular, the 1/500 scale Seikan Ferry (Tsugarumaru Class) series. The ships scheduled are now on sale, so I'd like to reintroduce the items, including the details shown by the photos.

Lets start with the side angle shot of Yoteimaru. The product has a base stand, and comes in an acrylic case.


Here is a close-up shot of Yoteimaru's chimney. As the ship is owned by the national railways, there is a large JNR logo placed on the chimney.


Front pic of Mashumaru (left) and pic from above (right). All the tiny parts are pre-assembled.


A close up photo of the back area of Mashumaru. The attraction is the fine details of the deck area and the Japanese flag.
