JR 500系 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I look to be running out of trains to buy, which really, is a good thing for me~ I've never gone through a month of Kato, Tomix, Tomytec and MA release news without the burning desire to pre-order something immediately, and Oct 2022 seems to be it! Except of cause that one bus set but buses dont count since they are a necessity. Fingers crossed for the GM news.... 2 3 Link to comment
bill937ca Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Maybe Tomix needs to change the wave length on the subliminal message, "Buy trains Sammy! Buy trains Sammy! Buy trains Sammy! Oh hell, buy buses Sammy!" 2 Link to comment
bill937ca Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Tomix has issued a notice that price increases are coming on their track line effective December. https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/info/202211018450.html https://www.tomytec.co.jp/img/news/kakakukaitei.pdf Edited November 2, 2022 by railsquid Remove FB tracking ID 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That looks like 10 ~ 20% across the range. As AFAIK they make most of it in China, presumably the effects of the yen's nosedive as well as the other current factors need to be priced in... 1 Link to comment

jappomania Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 one more... well I hope only to not replicate the K47 history (5..6.. boh? I forgot 😂 ) from Tomix poster I saw good news, the mold will be modified for matching the E52/E69 series (small display) but nothing about panto shield predisposition reproduced on Kato model rooftop, I hope they do it the same form speedsphere... http://www.speedsphere.jp/RailRoad/Shinkansen/Image/TecE2SeriesModelReview1030.jpg ciao!

JR 500系 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 As hot as it gets, fresh off the oven! The 315 series!!!! Tomix is certainly attacking the JR Tokai region with the HC85 and now the 315 series! The bus collection is also getting me VERY excited! Let's await the offical posters! 2 Link to comment

I reemerge from my inactivity on this forum to say LETS GOOOOO Honestly I have been really annoyed for a while that no one was producing any modern Shikoku rolling stock. Very glad to see them in scale form. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 WOWzers! The best model train related news for 2023!!!! I love the 2700 series and was simply waiting for someone to produce it!!! Does the 2700 series actual train comes with tiliting mechanism? If it does, then Kato model will be more to look forward to, since it should have the tiliting mechanism as well, and better looking couplers. Link to comment
bnicolas1987 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 A new JR 285 Sunrise express annonced, I'm quite sad to have the first one without front opened doors for the multiple unit, but I cannot imagine re-buy the same model a second time just for that... I hope Tomix will do a upgrade kit for the first 285... Link to comment
Kamome Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Not really sure on the necessity to re-run the 285 in HO gauge with some additional details. It was released previously in 2015. Perhaps Tomix have received a lot of requests from customers for it to be redone. I would say there was a lot more in their HO back-catalogue that would be far more worthy to get reproduced although Tomix seem to balance their releases of JNR and JR era stock. It would be good to have a few more frequent HO releases though. Certainly not much interest and a bit too modern for me despite this being a nice looking train. Link to comment
JR East Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Just read today on Twitter that the EF510-301 from Tomix is available today, Fri. Jan 20th https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/n/7163.html It's in my mamoth order arriving in March 2023. Edited January 20, 2023 by JR East Link to comment
Kamome Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Not a new model as such but Tomix seem to now produce a Shiki 1000 heavy freight 3 piece set through their Tech station, released yesterday. The previous, generally released ones are the older JNR era version with large Nippon Express logo but these are with the logo removed as seen today. They also have the correct numbers for the 3 produced but sadly still horrendous silver wheels. https://www.tec-station.jp/shop/g/g4543736935650/ Link to comment

Kamome Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) City of Aichi (Nagoya?) and Industrial area of Mie prefecture according to this Twitter post. This is assumedly how they got Aimi Aichi-Mie Tomix article explains the head mark is not included on the model which seems a missed opportunity. Edited February 9, 2023 by Kamome 2 Link to comment
