Kato Pocket Line at Plaza Japan

[bill937ca]

I noticed this morning that Plaza Japan has several different Kato Pocket Line sets in stock. I regard these as novelty items. THe power unit often runs like a gazelle and the trailers often bounce along.  The steam trains are very much toy-like but resemble the Bocchan trains  on the tram system in Matsuyama. These trains use Kato 11-103 drives (under the first coach in the steam train).

 

Anyways if anybody wants these for their collection they are available, which between runs is a rare occurrence.

Both HS and Plaza Japan have the Chibi-Den (Chicken Ra-men) tram set, with HS being $13 cheaper US.
