NYB-Japan: New Freecoaster
Ironic that this week I just tried to order a new Nankai freecoaster from Flatland Fuel and discovered Nankai are in hiatus. Mr. Nankai retired and his son is taking over the company. Production is moving to a new location, theres no ETA on new Nankai hubs. There really isn’t much choice in the flatland market thats reliable. However, this NYB stuff looks interesting.
