@VHubbard posted:Lived in Japn for two years in the 1970's. Rode in them a few times. Can still remember the sound as they went by the apartment. Have been looking for a Shinkansen O gauge model for a while. Prefer the original "O" series with the "bullet" style nose. Now that I have my first 3D printed engine done, I am looking for a model of the O series. Since these were built long before CAD, finding a good one has not been easy.
Hey VHubbard your Tank Engine project is great, and I read http://www.hubbardhobbies.com/ too.
Iʻve been toying with my own O Gauge Shinkansen for a while - just thinking about before falling asleep stage right now. You mentioned the sound, theyʻre not like the Amtrak trains near me moving a 50-70 MPH, quieter, less wheel to track noise and more air stream noise? O Gauge model might sound right if it used rubber wheels.
