Kiha66 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 No official post yet, but kato announced at the NSC that the NYC 20th centry limited will be coming next year, and the UP Big Boy in 2021. I'm certainly excited for the big boy, it will be nice to have an N scale steam loco that can actually pull long heavy trains reliably. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Definitely getting the big boy if Kato does one, although maybe not the first run judging by their FEF3 and GS4 😉 1 Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Seems November and December are limited to big ticket items, c57 1, sl yamaguchi, and twilight mizukazi. A few low end starter sets as well. 2 Link to comment
katoftw Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Oh was wondering when the C571 was gonna be announced. Hasn't been a good secret for the past year. Link to comment
Das Steinkopf Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Yay, that's one bullet I get to dodge mind you Tomix or someone else is bound to take my money. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) With the Mizukaze scheduled on November, I am just glad I can dodge more bullets till then! But I am sure Tomytec will release some more buses in the near future to grab my money... Also, pretty strange why Kato has not jumped onto the N700 Supreme band wagon yet... Tomix already has theirs out this month... Edited July 5, 2019 by JR 500系 1 Link to comment

It pulls all 17 hoppers full of real sand up a wall. It does have two motors in it though. Link to comment

Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Interesting development from Kato here, which has got us all very excited in the UK... http://www.jp-ngauge.info/ngi/2019/07/kato2019-6f3c.html The packaging looks interesting.

Could it be that kato is starting a third division? 2 Link to comment
Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Beat me to in on my edit! There have been persistent rumours about this...Mr Kato has been to a number of shows in the UK, and by all accounts was very taken with the Revolution Pendolino. Fingers crossed, but if they do launch a range, that will be enormously exciting. 2 Link to comment
Welshbloke Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I see the KuMoYuNi 74s are returning as well. Wonder if Kato will swap the Rapido couplers for the new type Shibatas in close coupler mounts? Link to comment

While the transcription have some errors. It appears those whoevers have picked up and fixed a few errors and adjusted. I was referring to the release poster itself. Which has multiple errors on it.
