"Japanese Model Supplies

See the "Unitrack History / Kato vs. Tomix" page - here you will find details of the 2 major track systems from Japan, as well as the history of Kato's Unitrack.

AT THE END OF 2002, TOMIX REPLACED BOTH SYSTEMS LISTED BELOW WITH THE 'Fine Track' SYSTEM. ALL PARTS ARE THE SAME CONFIGURATION, SAME PRICE, AND WILL FIT THE OLD SYSTEMS.
