Major Kato train restock at HS

[bill937ca]

Well, there goes the budget. 

 

Thanks for the heads-up. These are showing up on the individual pages as restocked, but I'd missed them on the "restock" tab because the 4/2 update pushed them down the page.

The manager of my credit union would like to thank the Japanese model manufacturers for their continuing run of releases that I don't want.    Well, maybe the 489...

Strange, only 1 car set for the cassiopeia...

 

Nice to see them redoing the Kato Train though ;)
