any news about Kato "HO" super komachi ?

[fenice19]

3 years ago i purchased a complete hayabusa train, but after that kato released only a N scale E6 train.

Any news about a future release of superkomachi in HO scale by Kato ?

Only Kato knows. Probably depends on their sales for the E5 set (anecdotal- I still see some them languishing at the big box retailers, but classic models from the JNR era tend to fly off the shelves) and any domestic customer demand for a potential E6. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

The only HO E6 I saw came from Endo, but that is already long sold out: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10225002

Just asking, which one is well known for better products between Kato and Endo or even Tomix on Japanese HO scale wars?

I'm sure Endo is mostly brass, so that is pretty much the winner there, but I think Tomix is actually more detailed than Kato from what I've seen online. That being said, Kato is still very precise in their models and I am always impressed with their work. I don't actually own Tomix stuff, so I actually cannot say really. they're pretty much top tier compared to all of the American manufacturers in my opinion
