My guess is it will end up in the bargain bin soon just like the J0 consist before it.

 

I'll wait and see what KATO does, however. Somehow the Logo of the N700S doesn't seem that great on the TOMIX version.

I agree.  But then I see what the $/Euro equivalent of 47k Yen will buy for Euro  trains and I realize we get a deal with Japanese trains...

 

(manufacturers, not speaking of things like KATO made trains of European prototypes but things like Fleischmann, Minitrix/Trix, Arnold/Hornby,  even Lemke/Hobbytrain)

Arnold has a "d" at the end

Oh the 4 car 103 series looks nice. Was thunking of getting the GM one. But this is 40K yen cheaper.

Kiha 261-5000 Hamanasu

 

Kiha 81 Tsubaki & EF71

 

EF60 & freight set

[Kiha66]

Some nice stuff!  Thankfully I have the kato 81 series already, if not I'd be sorely tempted.

[JR 500系]

I'm on the fence on that Hamanasu.... And almost at the verge of crossing over to Hokkaido.....   😔

[JR 500系]

Tomytec's Streaming video of latest products!

 

(there is something really wrong i cant seem to paste youtube video links and they get automatically embedded like before....)

 

And of course, the highlight!

 

 

Tomix is making the Tobu 500 series Revalty!

Would there be a mad rush to cancel the Popondetta ones i imagine....

I have no issues. Links get automatically embedded like before. Post in the Agora.

[jappomania]

yep! another Shinkansen 800! what to do? it's the nr.11 or 12... I need to extend my storage, at the end all the real JR Kyushu fleet will be reproduced....😂

[JR 500系]

Here's the latest wave, and the much anticipated, Revalty!

 

Tobu Railway Series 500 Revaty

 

Oigawa Railway `Kikansya Thomas Go`

 

J.N.R. Suburban Train Series 115-300 (Shonan Color)

 

J.N.R. Limited Express Series 485-1000/ J.R. Diesel Train Series KIHA130 (Hidaka Line)

 

J.R. Electric Locomotive Type EF81 (Nagaoka Rail Yard, Rose Color, with Visor) /

 

.R. Diesel Train Type KIHA40-2000 (J.R. Shikoku Color)

 

Multi Overpass for station

 

 

The Thomas Go looks interesting... and that Multi-over pass is a great idea for making a realistic station diorama!

 

 

[Martijn Meerts]

Going by the picture, the 115-300 is actually a JR version rather than a JNR version. That JNR 485-1000 sure is interesting though 😄

 

[Das Steinkopf]

Hooray the KoKi 105's are finally coming out again after being unavaialable for at least 6 years, I can finally stop bitching about their availabilty and will be able to complete my collection of 100 Series KoKi's.

The Thomas Go looks interesting...

And people complain about the price of MA and GM releases.

JPY 49,000 list for the special edition 9-car set, or JPY 23,500 list for Thomas and three coaches. I know it's on par with the other SLs Tomix produced, but still 😲

Some new lightning kit was announced together with the overpass - 0743 kit and 0745 lights. It looks very similar to the lightning kit included in lit platforms that came out last year. Those platforms have the kit preassembled though. Seems that Tomix will prefer addon kits than having lit and unlit versions of the same building in the future.

Hmm.. Might just have to got one of those 3-car sets in that case 🙂

 

[TimWay4]

Went all in and reserved the Thomas 9-car set. I've been wanting an Oigawa Thomas for a while, now I don't have to build one myself ^_^ It's a bit expensive, but I'm sure I'll love it and it'll go with all my other Thomas model railway gear. 

[pbunter]

I was also ecstatic to see the Koki 105s available for pre-order from Hobby Search but...why don't I see it listed on any of the June release posters? Or did I just miss it? I checked the Tomytec website and didn't see it listed in the Tomix main page or new products page. hmmm

[katoftw]

HS sometimes gets there pre-orders up quicker than Tomix does their website.

[disturbman]

It's a re-release. They are listed here: https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/reproduction/

Thanks for the link! Didn't realize Tomytec/Tomix split new and reproduction items into separate pages. Kato seems to just have a single page showing their schedule of upcoming releases without regard to new/reproduction - a little more convenient.

[disturbman]

They do, and it's pretty stupid IMO. They should consolidate the annoncements and release schedules.

[railsquid]

I never knew that either. I mainly check http://www.jp-ngauge.info/ upcoming stuff though.
