The Imperial Japanese Navy … in 1/1200th-scale: Yet more additions … plus some other items of interest

Thanks to seller on eBay, I have managed to acquire a second model of a Kongo-class fast battleship to add to my collection of 1:1200th-scale Imperial Japanese Navy warships, ...

(36,601 tons; 30 knots; 8 x 14-inch guns; 14 x 6-inch guns; 8 x 5-inch AA guns; 8 x 25mm AA guns)

… as well as the aircraft carrier, IJNS Kaga.

(38,200 tons; 28 knots; 10 x 7.9-inch guns; 16 x 5-inch AA guns; 22 x 25mm AA guns; 90 aircraft)


At the same time, I acquired a model of Argentinian Navy coastal defence battleship, ANA Libertad

(2,336 tons; 11 knots; 2 x 9-inch guns; 2 x 4.7-inch guns, 4 x 47mm QF guns; 4 x 18-inch torpedo tubes)


Finally, I bought one of KATO's Pocket Line N-gauge locomotives and carriages.

The locomotive isn't powered ... but one of the carriages is!

I hope to give it a test run on my layout later this week.
