bill937ca Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 JAM, the major Japanese model train show was held in Tokyo over the weekend. Looks like Kato will issue a (Tokyo?) Metro train. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 There are more non-You Tube videos here. This appears to be an official JAM blog. http://jam.gr.jp/ Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks for posting these ... I'm almost tempted to get into the Shorties but I don't like the space between the cars. Tighter couplings would have been good. Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
Hobby Dreamer Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks Bill. for posting these... Are there any product announcements? (I did not go thru the videos and for some reason Google did not translate the page correctly..) Thx Link to comment
Darklighter Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm looking forward to seeing Ta-kky's new module in action. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hobby Search has a couple of blog reports on JAM, but again its mainly layouts with few new product announcements noted. Because of the size of JAM it often takes time for news to filter out. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/blog/110822&usg=ALkJrhjtojNwuZAuMler8qXkfwG1DvgDGg http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/blog/110823&usg=ALkJrhgeHKAyyXt7C8BRkJ5bG7Zsui6uig Link to comment
KenS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Looks like Kato will issue a (Tokyo?) Metro train. That's the Tokyo Ginza Series 01 model due out next month. It was announced back in June. HS is still taking reservations on it. It looks a little odd on the Unitram track, especially since it's a third-rail vehicle with no pantographs. Link to comment

Thats why i was saying would be nice if they made a set of third rail track a while back. Seems like this is the first of a planned line up for them. Maybe they will end up doing some of the osaka third rail's as well. Link to comment

Mudkip Orange Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hmm, until now I hadn't realized the Ginza Line had street running. The more you know! Link to comment
