TGauge (supplier)

[bill937ca]

Late last week I stumbled upon an UK T Gauge train supplier called TGauge.com with 1/450 trains including some Japanese trains.

There is a Hankyu 9000 series starter set.

The train packs page includes Hankyu 9000 sets, Shinkansens Series 0 sets,  JR  Series 165 set and various JR Series 103 sets. They also have a couple of UK sets, ICE trains and  US freight sets.  The site sells pretty much every thing else you need to get going: track, cables, buildings, scenery, accessories (bridges, vehicles, figures (WOW!!), overhead masts).

Tgauge.com has been the main distributor world wide for a long time now. There was Ardesh with trainaids.com in the US, but sadly he passed away about 5 years ago and no one took over his business and no new us distributor has shown up. Tgauge has worked with Eishindo to make the euro trains. When Eishindo left japan and went to Hong Kong it’s not clear if they the licensed manufacturing to railway shop in Hong Kong or that is just their sub company now in Hong Kong for production. For a number of years after they moved to Hong Kong I know the Eishindo was doing both the development and manufacturing as Ardesh talked a lot about them and doing some new products like Tgauge.com was doing. They were doing constant iterations of the power mechanisms and ended up having their own motors manufactured.

 

it’s great Tgauge.com has flourished as it’s become such a niche, niche market.
