Hi, I'm interested in KATO 10-926 225-5000 set , I'm not sure but is this an airport set?, also its described as a roundhouse set, any ideas what this means? thanks

According to wikipedia it's a JR West suburban train, and the 225-5000 is indeed used on airport trains.

 

Roundhouse is sort of a specialty brand within Kato, which appears to be focused on smaller-volume models.  In many (all?) cases these are older-tooling models with detail changes or different paint.

Hi Ken,

 

Thanks for that, its just roundhouse gives the impression of a static model that,,a purchase may commence!
