Dr. Green?

no that's not Dr. Yellow cousin thats what I got in the mail yesterday. I was expecting a yellow train but what showed up was a fluorescent green looking train impersonating my beloved Dr. Yellow. The train looks nothing like the advertised picture Ive seen elsewhere.

Looking for Tomix Dr. Yellow

Hey guys Im looking for a Tomix Dr. Yellow set like the one pictured below. If you know where I can find this set at please let me know thanks.


Update: 10/4/09
I got in contact with a store called Popondetta and they had the Doctor Yellow set I wanted in stock. I may pick up the add on set if I find it for a good price someday. I should have my Dr. Yellow sitting on my tracks in a week or so. This is my first Tomix purchase as well so we'll see how this goes. I forgot to mention that I got ti cheaper than where I was originally going to buy it, cant beat that.

Unitram, Portram, Flim Flam

Unless youve been living under a rock or someplace you've probably heard of Katos new Unitram. Unitram is a new system of interlocking track for their new Tram system. POrtram is the type of tram that Kato has introduced, although Portrams are not new it is new for Kato. Tomix has been marketing Portrams for several months now but does not have a interlocking track system.

Although not a fan of Portrams the seem to have grown on me. Im currently considering ordering a set of Tomix Portrams.

New track plans from Kato and track sets?

Wow Kato must be doing some serious stuff in the Japan headquarters. First we get Unitram stuff then Portram stuff and track planning software now new track plans.

Kato has a new V14 set, this set has a smaller radius than the V11 set so you can make use of smaller spaces which is my guess.Im not sure how old the V14 set is but the place where I get my sets from doesent have this one in stock as of yet.

The v14 set must be really new since I dint see it mentioned on the Kato usa site. Well it looks like I'll be getting a v14 because the v11 is pretty big for my space.

I like the look of these new plans, they look very exciting and well thought out.
