CaptOblivious Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 It's a little late, but if you haven't seen them, here are photos from the recent Shizuoka Hobby Fair, where new train products are announced: http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/index.html Highlights (for me, anyway): Tomix has new points to replace the current ones, and a new curved girder bridge (there is a cool photo of the curved points making a double-line crossover on the curved girder bridge). Tomix also had some drawings of the new canted (super-elevated) FineTrack to compete with Kato. http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/tomix/l/019.jpg http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/tomix/l/020.jpg Kato has a couple of new steam locos with DCC fire effects in the cab! Expensive! But this explains why Kato suddenly began experimenting with moving the motor from the cab. http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/kato/l/011.jpg http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/kato/l/012.jpg MicroAce had their new Keisei Skyliner models on display. http://www.rc-awaza.com/event0805a/arii/l/029.jpg Link to comment
