    My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Japan from Atlanta in 2019. We loved it.
    This showroom was near the top of my wish list. Needless to say, I had a great afternoon exploring the retail offerings and watching running trains racing through interesting scenes.
    I loved that local enthusiasts could run their trains here. It was a wonderful highlight of my trip.

    I went there last year for the first time. Ended up buying a lot of stuff. Two V15 One V11 One V16 6 Island Suburban Platform DX B. One E7 Shinkansen One DD51 and 11 carriages of cargo container train cart. Had a very enjoyable time there. While i was in Japan I also managed to find a rare Sumikogurashi and Rilakumma E231-500 so i decided to buy that too.

    Wow, what an amazing tour of the Kato Hobby Center in Tokyo! 🚄🇯🇵 It looks like a paradise for model train enthusiasts with such a wide range of scales, layouts, and especially those incredible Shinkansen bullet trains. The variety of N scale and HO scale options must be quite a sight to see in person.
    I'm curious, which part of the store impressed you the most? Did you find any particular train set or accessory that you would recommend? Also, how do the Unitrack systems compare in terms of ease of use and flexibility for new setups?
    Thank you for taking us along on this fantastic journey through one of the premier model train stores in the world. It’s definitely on my must-visit list now! 🚂🌍

    That Kato store makes me jealous on so many levels, and it pulls me towards N scale but realistically I know there's no way my old man eyes will allow me to enjoy it as much, but I've falling in love with how efficient those Kato books are at storing trains. From what I recall you can run your trains if you spend as little as 500yen in their store. That said you were there for 10 days, hopefully you managed to sneak off to the Akihabara district, there definitely are a lot of train stores you can hit up (and yeah even HO scale)

    I was there a few months ago, the trains at the Kato Center there are around 20% more expensive compared to Popondetta and Joshin. It is really good if you need specific parts and as someone who has been using Kato products for over a decade, it was really cool to see.

  • @GretchenDawntreader

      I think there is a separate company called KATO USA. They do toolings for the American market and the model trains are made in Japan? Reason I say that is - HO scale in Japan is 1/80 and over here it's 1/87.

And a passenger car I think, or it might a booster engine without the cab, as well as a box car for it. Just asking, cause when you looked thru the American diesel engines you said “They even have Florida East Coast” I’m just wondering. 2:38
