At a hobby show a week or so ago, many new items from all the major manufacturers were previewed. Other than glimpses of samples of soon-to-be-released models, the only major new announcements came from Kato.
A number of changes have been made to the release list from MicroAce for the next couple of months …
M/A have just announced the ’suggested’ new items for release in October 2007 …
Once again Kato have lost track of the plot and had to revise the majority of their planned releases from now until July 
The web page is now up for this release, so you can see what the various colour schemes are …
‘The Truck Collection’ #3 has been released, and youy can blame it on either Japan or Australia Post for the fact I only just received it, so sorry the review is a little late 
This blog contains up-to-date announcements (with pictures) of new and re-released items from all the major Japanese model train manufacturers (Kato, Tomix, MicroAce, Greenmax, Modemo etc.), as well as information to help you make acquisitions for your Japanese model train collection.
