the full length train comes with circular track right?? if need separate only buy...

i mean in msia... they have other brand.. fleischman i think.. haha

cheapest is like rm 1500 (many years ago) xD

last week i went to tokyo they selling around 20000 yen and above...ahhhh i shudda bought it sad.gif

oh...the set with track and train is not full length. its just the motor car.

eg for N700A, there is "starter pack" with 4 carriage and a trackset included (powerpack included)

but to reach full length, you will need to buy 8-car add-on and 4-car add-on which makes it 16 car which is same as real train

oh put level and pull them apart... so easy

hahaha but the new track hold like glue... omg i hope i don break them apart.... kinda hard to pull them apart in a complete full circular track

kato is break /\

easier xD

kato n track and tomix n track cannot combine then sad.gif

in msia nowhere sell this kinda track / accesorries right ??? must buy online or go japan ?
wat if i wanna extend the track into bigger tracks... using ONE train set... do i need to add power pack??? or no limit as long as all tracks are connected ?
*
track cannot combine but trains can run on either. Msia maybe got but very niche, no sure where can find also.

just go 1999 or amazon.jp find. MAybe we can share postage if the box not heavy (Like my viaduct set postage cost is RM200+, so rather just go japan buy lol)
