So when does KATO usually start announcing their 009 products?

[Dillon]

Sorry, this sounds like a noob question, but since starting 009, I was wondering what month KATO(or KATO/Peco) usually starts announcing their 009 products. Since Bachmann has already announced their 009 lineup with their Sir Haydn models and their Ffestiniog Railway wagons(Link: 

), and I'm curious about the 2025 season.

 

(Also, I don't know if this is an appropriate section of the forum to ask here)

Business year in Japan ends March 31. New product announcements usually start in May around the Shizuoka Hobby Show and probably have peaked by August when the JAM show occurs.

Kato make general announcements at the end of every month. There hasn't been any new 009 for a while.

Kato doesn't have enough OO-9 products to make 'usual' announcements regards OO-9.  They announce when they announce.
