C62 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 As I have to wait until my preordered Micro Ace locos arrive (release date changed from June to September :'( ) I did some shopping on the web. I got this one from an ebay shop in HongKong: This one from a shop in Spain: Thomas Link to comment
Bernard Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nice steam engines - In the USA kato steam engines are very popular. Does Mirco Ace do American steam engines also? Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 That D51 is nice =) Bernard, I think MicroAce does Japanese models only, pretty much like Tomix. Although, Tomix has started adding English instructions to their cleaning car, so they may have figured out there's quite a market for their stuff outside of Japan. On the average though, the market for Japanese trains outside of Japan is VERY small ;) Link to comment
Bernard Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 It must be a large market in Japan by just looking at the inventories of Kato, Tomix & Micro Ace. I think they make more model prototypes then the North American market. Link to comment
