N-SCALE (What did you receive or pre-order?)

Today, I received my KATO Shiki-Shima!  Basic set (10-1889) which the 2023 version was released this month.

Always wanted the Shiki-Shima from KATO (2017 version, people sell for over $350).  TOMIX 2019 version, people can find for around $325 or higher.  But great to have got it on discount with the current exchange rates - about $97 (instead of $150).

I made sure to pre-order this while prices were low.  Have little regret not getting the 6-car extension set for the one special car but my diorama is best running four cars.  But getting the luxury trains for KATO are often difficult...one of those...you snooze or lose situations because after that, people start selling it for super expensive.

Sold out on Amazon now...
