I just had my first overseas purchase from a dealer on eBay, I bought a Kato V13 track & a 16 car Nozomi 500 series N gauge. It went very well. Everything arrived in good time & in good shape! N gauge sure is small, thank goodness for the Rerailer Kato encludes with the set. I like N gauge, it just adds to my HO scale layout. The track is wonderful. I love the quality and clean look. The 500 series is a beautiful train. I do wish we had Bullet trains in America. But what a mess that would be. :) Love this forum.
