Hi Alex217!
I think you're more likely to get the help you need if you modify the size of the text that you are using to write your messages!

Hello Alex217 and welcome to the forum,
You can try this site for Japanese engines, you must have access to the download station to get these items...
Japan-Diesel
http://trainz.banal.net/catalog/pages/Japan-Diesel.html
Japan-Electric
http://trainz.banal.net/catalog/pages/Japan-Electric.html
Hope these help
By the way, the words in your top post are quite big, if you can make them smaller, then you might get more help. When I first started posting on the Trainz Forum, I posted in large letters, however, I was told that this is regarded as demanding and shouting, hope this helps and it doesn't offend.
Many thanks
Joe Airtime

You may also want to consider the offerings from Hirochi and Rossolabo available on the DLS.
Also Hirochi has the cat bus from 'My Neighbor Totoro'.

Hello all,
this is the first time I have returned to the forum in years. Please understand that I was 10 years old when I wrote this post and I seemed to have a fixation with large text, and later discovered I had a serious vision impairment. I wasn't trying to shout, or be rude, or demand. Please understand and forgive me for my previous ignorance.

The content on the DLS is a bit of a mix. The locos and rolling stock are very good models but some are offered in non-prototypical gauge.
Japanese railways are a mix of 4ft 81/2" (often referred to as standard gauge) and 3ft 6" - their hiogh speed trains are another gauge altogether, but I do not know what it is.
For example the DD51 (which, incidentally, has its bogie pivot points in the wrong order in the mesh) is offered as 4ft 81/2 whilst prototypically it should be 3ft 6". The very, very nice Taki1000 tankers by Ken Kino****a are also in the wrong gauge - both can be 'fixed' with PEVs Attachment Maker.
All others, as far as I am aware, are offered in the correct gauge.

The shinkansen are all standard gauge, the majority of the japanese rail network prior to the building of the shinkansen lines was narrow gauge, with very small sprinklings of standard gauge.
