Throughout the world, Japanese makers Kato and Tomix are synonymous
with the highest quality N-scale locomotives and rolling stock. This
set carries the Kato name well. This is a set that I like quite a bit
and indeed I have one of these in my personal collection. This and
similar trains like the 183-1000 series have always struck me as the
true embodiment of the traditional Japanese limited express trains -
they are elegant in real life and the model is quite nice too. For
those of you unfamiliar with Tomix - this is the pre-eminant maker of
N-gauge items in Japan and is thought of at least as highly as Kato
is. To put things in perspective, Tomix items typically sell for
30-50% more than equivalent Kato kits do, as the deail is considered
to be superior.

This is a motorized 9-car set of a JNR 485 series limited express
train. It is not new, but is in excellent condition. This is a
relatively recent release, so the moulding and detail are excellent.
The roof detail is particularly good on this train. This train is
famous because it was revolutionary in that it was one of the first
(the first?) train to be both AC and DC (note the dual pantographs on
the pantograph cars).
[IMAGE] [IMAGE]
here's two scans of stored value "passnet" cards (not included) with
pictures of girls dressed up to look like this train. Odd, the
Japanese are sometimes!
The motor car ran very smoothly in a brief test run. The condition of
this whole set in my estimation is 'nearly new.' 7 of the cars come in
a standard Tomix storage casket while two come in individual Tomix
hardshell cases. The end cars feature directional lighting (white
headlights, red taillights). The motor car is super low profile and
can not be readily seen through the windows (a good thing). One car is
a "green car" (green sha) - a first class car.
[IMAGE]
Note that this train has JNR markings of the old pre-privatization
Japan National Railways. Does this mean that it is old? NO! Because
this train is such a classic, it was allowed to keep the JNR markings
even to today, well into the "JR" age.
I will ship this item from Cambridge, UK. Cheque payment or bank
transfer is fine, as is PayPal. PayPal payment preferred - NO PAYPAL
SURCHARGE!
Good luck and happy bidding!

YES! this train will run on your N-gauge track be it Kato, Tomix,
Peco, Atlas, Fleischmann, MiniTRIX, etc. (That said, I recommend that
all N-gauge enthusiasts use Kato or Tomix track, at is simply superior
in terms of quality and reliability, but that is a different issue).
YES! Whether you are in the UK, USA, Europe, Japan, or elsewhere, this
train will run with your regular train controller, be it Hornby, Kato,
Tomix, Tyco, Atlas, etc. You do NOT need to worry about international
voltage issues because your controller will take care of this for you.
You can run this train on your N-gauge track just as easily as any
other.

Unless otherwise noted, the items I am selling are located with me in
Cambridge, UK (please read the note below for more about this). This
means:
* No VAT. I am not a professional seller and my volume of sales is
far too low for me to be obligated to collect VAT from UK or
European purchasers (also: no sales tax for USA/North American
buyers).
* No Import Duty. If you buy from somebody who is shipping from
abroad, you may be liable for import duty + VAT on arrival.
Furthermore, if the package arrives and the sender has tried to
put an artificially low customs value, you may be liable for a
penalty as well. There are no such issues with my items.
* No Delay. Unless otherwise specified (I am on a trip or
something--which is unusual--I try to schedule my auctions so that
I can ship soon after they end), I will ship your items promptly.
If you pay by PayPal right when the auction ends, there is a
strong likelihood that you will have your item(s) in a day or two
(UK) or just slightly longer (Europe).
* No Problems. Certain sellers sell their items with no possibility
of return under any circumstances--even if they are potentially
defective after a long transcontinental journey! I test all items
here in the UK prior to shipment and work to accurately describe
them. Furthermore, while I fully expect the overwhelming majority
of people to be happy with their purchase, unless otherwise
indicated, I do leave the window open for potential exchange or
return if something is really not so. There will have to be a very
very valid reason for me to accept a return or exchange ("I didn't
like the color" won't do), but you may find it comforting to know
that for that extreme situation the possibility is there. Of
course, making things easier for both of us is that the Tomix and
Kato goods are of superb quality and tend to, well, just work.
* I'm here to help / I can get what you need. Getting specific items
from Japan is an art and a science, especially given the odd
production schedules of Japanese manufacturers. The catalogues
tend to be full of items that haven't been manufactured for
sometimes decades! If you are looking for a specific item or have
a request that my auctions don't cover, let me know and I may be
able to help you out. Besides Kato and Tomix, I can also obtain
items by MicroAce, GreenMax, and others. I personally am mostly
familiar with N-scale items, but can also find items in other
scales. There are number of Japanese prototype trains available in
HO-gauge--these tend to be quite exquisite though expensive.
* I am an enthusiast, like you. I enjoy the trains -- these are far
more than stock items to me. I will try to answer all your
questions as best I can.
Please note: I am located in Cambridge, UK and under normal
circumstances your item will ship from the UK. This is regardless what
my PayPal address may say. I originally signed up for PayPal when
living in the USA and they make it very hard to switch the country
that shows up on the display when you move.
Worldwide shipping charges: I will happily ship this item worldwide,
but please note that the postal rates given are for UK shipping from
the UK. As a rule of thumb, shipping to Europe is 1.5 times the UK
shipping, and to the USA is 2 times the UK shipping. If you are paying
by PayPal, feel free to apply this rule of thumb--I will contact you
if the actual shipping ends up being substantially more for some
reason. Sorry, I do not ship to countries where there has been
historically a high incidence of fraud.
Paying by Cheque? If you need my UK address, for example, to send a
cheque after winning an item, please email me and I will give it to
you. If you send a cheque, it is very helpful if you include a brief
note with the eBay item number and description with it. Also, be sure
to include your postal address.
