Some locos can also be found on the Passenger and freight pages, as a part of train sets.

After many years absence, steam is back at Tomix! First release is the 9600 class 2-8-0 with a 3 axle tender. This was one of the most prolifically used classes in Japan, based at depots all over the country. The motor is in the tender with a drive shaft to power all loco wheels, and there is no 'ugly' motor sticking out of the cab. Kato and MicroAce steam locos have the cab inside the cab, often sticking out the back and very visible. Kato's stream locos are also 1/140 scale, which makes them look 'too big' next to other brands.

Of course, most steam locos are plain black, unless noted ...

Electric locos in Japan are split into 3 categories, because Japan is split in half electrically! There are 1500 volts DC locos, 20000 volts AC locos, and multi-voltage locos that can use either, or are used in the transition areas. To compound the problem, there are 50Hz AC areas in the north and 60Hz AC areas in the south as well! Of course, diesel locos do not have this problem. Most models have headlights and most Tomix locos have an automatic magnetic uncoupling mechanism.
