Kato K10707 ET 425 Mass Transit Railcars

[dwesterdale]

Hi these mass transit cars look really awesome, does anyone have experience with these?

 

Here is the link -

I'm trying to find out what the minimum radius is for this set. And if the set is 1:150 or 1:160 scale.

I know they're not models of Japanese prototypes, but they are made by Kato so hoping this is the forum for me. :)

 

I'm modeling mostly european, but have an urban area, where a lot of the kato products seem to really fit well.

 

If these can navigate sharp curves I'd love to add these to the next section I'm planning which is an underground section along the facia board of my layout.

 

Thank you!

Sounds like it is 1/160.  Also, as per it's review on this site: http://www.1zu160.net/test/kato-et425.php  it navigated a 192mm curve with no issue, no mention of how it looked navigating that narrow of a curve though.

HS lists it as 1:160.

 

ModelTrainStuff is offering a good price too, especially if you're in the US.

 

Cheers
