Unitram X-tra track rumor

Hello all you Unitram devotees.  I was able to squeeze some info out of Kato US. They are considering importing straight track plates and as we all know the streets are all 1 way and turn to the left. The new curved road plate streets will turn to right.

That is all.

Yeah, its already been announced with what some are calling a whooping high price in Japan.  No switches.

There's the price list. It looks like you have to buy the whole package.  No choice as to whether you buy platforms and overhead masts separately

Is it a joke that a 124 mm straight plate with track will cost JPY 4620?

 

That's the best argument for scratchbuilding I've seen yet.

Yeah, I'll be going with Tomix if I start with trams. While Kato offers a better exact-to-prototype match, the price and lack of flexibility is a major problem. As long as Kato still manages to come out with some other paint schemes (we've seen 1 so far) they'll at least sell the trams, maybe.

im guessing this is for at least two if not 4 pieces as a whole unitram loop is 18000...

I hope you are right, although 2 pieces for this price would be also expensive.

And dear Kato: we would like to see switches...
