I often see a lot of them in the used sections of railway shops. Just had that discussion of some sorts on a different discord, where ppl. complained they won't get the "good" trains, due to many shops not exporting these (license restrictions, same as the Hello Kitty trains). I think it makes them a well sought after item outside of Japan, but oddly enough even after all the time, inside Japan you sometimes even find them brand new. Link to comment
disturbman Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The funny thing is, I think Tomix made too many of the yellow Waku Waku that was released first and not enough of the following sets. The red one is a pita to source, and the Pixar is also relatively rare, but the yellow is flooding the second-market and has seen is price crash in recent months. Link to comment

Falcon Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 .....but for the DD200 : *Supplement: Uses M-10 motor. (2023/10/16) Link to comment
SwallowAngel Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 New Tomix Announcement Poster is here! Link to comment
Guest Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Holy inflation Batman. That N700 has literally doubled in price since I bought mine 10/2018. The new set B ¥26,180 MSRP, I paid ¥13,055. That makes for a hefty investment for all 16 cars. Link to comment

Not to take away from your take, but you are comparing a full price (including Japanese sales tax/VAT) with a heavily discounted price. MSRP of previous N700-1000 B set was 22,880.

SwallowAngel Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 New pictures of the C58, now less prototype-ish with more decoration and better angles https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/c58-ginga/model.html Looks great IMO, they finally tried to fix their chronic firebox-gap above the trailing wheel that was present on the C57s/C55 4 Link to comment
jappomania Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 yup! the 200key family is now completed with the K set but it can't run alone with the nose end coupler so... not yet announced but the item code has been already assigned at the renewed 400key! https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/n/98860.html (scroll down) maybe next month will be announced 🙂 and like a kind of magic a lot of old release will appear on yahoo... Ciao! Massimo Link to comment
AbaZ33a Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm very excited for the new 200 K and 400 series. I came close to buying the old 200 K many times but I'm glad that I refrained from doing it all this time. Now all TOMIX needs to do is release a 200 G! Link to comment
Falcon Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hello to all, what is the difference between the new Tomix DD51-500 and Tomix DD51-1000 ? Thanks . Link to comment
Kamome Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Not sure if you’re looking for specific differences between the 500 and 1000 in terms of prototype or model. If the real locomotive, look here with a translation app. https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/国鉄DD51形ディーゼル機関車 The newest announcement from Tomix in N is for the release of a Hokkaido DD51-500 (2250) with winter specification windows, snow ploughs and the removal of some of the radiator covers as seen in the region in the JNR era. DD51 were used throughout Japan replacing the remnants of steam on a lot of “trunk” lines. There were a variety of subtle differences across the country depending on the workload, geographic and weather requirements. The most obvious differences were the inclusion of rotating windows and snowploughs for cold regions. Otherwise there would be subtle differences in model form to replicate the equipment installed on the loco for its usage. Steam heating, jumper plugs etc.. 1 Link to comment
Falcon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thanks Kamome, thats mine Tomix 2250 ! Link to comment
Kamome Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Looks like a nice model out in February. More info can be found here, again if you use translation on Chrome or similar. https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/report/n/nj_292.html Some Hokkaido based DD51-500s had a third bonnet mounted light for snow storms too. 2 Link to comment
1954G Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 For Blue Train / Hokutosei fans, please note that the additional cars needed to extend the 92792 Yume Kuukan Hokutosei are now up for pre-order. Weirdly, Tomix did not re-release them last fall when the Yume Kuukan was re-released. Hopefully more JR East Hokutosei items are coming soon. Here is a screen shot of the instruction manual; you can add 3, 4, or 5 additional coaches based on the consistsTomix suggests. I'd suggest ordering 5 coaches: 9529, 9530, 9531, 9532 x 2 . 1 1 Link to comment
Rod.H Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 So, a new koki 106 with a 40-foot container, parts to make the curved viaduct into double-track and single-track catenary poles with simulated high-voltage power are probably of interest for some. Link to comment
katem Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 On 2/10/2024 at 1:28 PM, Rod.H said: parts to make the curved viaduct into double-track The description talks about the curve track pieces being convertible between canted track and cant approach track using a screwdriver which is the first for Tomix, even the original viaduct curves did have separate approach pieces. Link to comment
Rod.H Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 So the original curved viaduct comes with 2 cant approaches to a canted curve, while the upcoming addon has all the curves canted but has a removable piece to make cant approaches. Link to comment
Kamome Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) September, HO versions of the EF81-300 and 400 JR freight versions. Fine Tomix, just take my money, but could you not have announced a JNR EF81-300 alongside it? Prices inching up again though. Here's the rest too https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/information/img/pdf/poster240314.pdf https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/information/img/pdf/poster240314-2.pdf Edited March 15 by Kamome 1 Link to comment
jappomania Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 1985-2024, just ... ehm ... 39 years for a correct 100 series so now still missing the original X set with large windows and NS red logo to close the circle.... heavy time for my credit card.... 😩 Ciao! Link to comment
Kamome Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Also if anyone fancies DF200-201 in Ai Mi livery in HO, the first run already ran out. Sales resume this coming Friday. https://www.tec-station.jp/shop/g/g4543736969419/ Link to comment
