Bri Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Couple of videos from the show, first one Kato & the other Tomix. 1 Link to comment
Jcarlton Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Nice elaborate setups for a show. I think that Tomy especially needs to realize that even if the customers don't have long curves the trains look better when they are not going around sharp curves. Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Those layouts are already pretty old. I've seen parts of them ten years ago already. They only upgrade parts of them from time to time, hence the sharp corners. Also, they can only do so much with their standard tracks, as they also need to market their products in a realistic setup that you can make at home. It's a compromise. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Nice videos! Somehow or rather i preferred the Tomix one... I always had a little more favourable towards Tomix, probably because Tomytec is also Tomix and Tomytec has buses and cars and buildings and all... Of course Kato has a HUGE range of trains and structures of themselves too... Smart of Tomix to display their automated crossing... Nice. The new painted single carriage model is also on display.. Esp had a good laugh at the end of the video whereby they showcased their 3-car starter sets... The trains just go round and round and round... "Are we there yet?" :P Link to comment
Ochanomizu Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think the Tomix trains are running at more realistic speed. Link to comment
