Another exciting visit. We went to a large toy shop which was on 5 floors. One whole floor was dedicated to model railways, it was mostly Kato and Tomix (the two largest Japanese manufacturers) and mostly N gauge but they had some gauge 1, HO, Z and T gauge as well. The prices for the European imported stuff were unsurprisingly high but also the Japanese stuff did not seem that good value, especially since the quality is not as high as European models. The train bodies are basically a single piece moulding with some paintwork. Their track is all pre-ballasted but seems to be solid, the trains rarely derail and the flanges on their wheels are tiny. I saw this exciting example of marketing although it was a little large for me....
