However, the only way to be really certain is to check the gauge (the width of the space between the two rails) of the rails they come with: for H0 scale it's 16.5 mm.

Knowing TT, I'd be surprised if it wasn't HO scale, that would be amazing for model train enthusiasts.

And knowing them, that's exactly why they're detailed like the real thing

So what you're saying is is that Shouki can run on the North Western Railway while Getsuei can run on the Skarloey Railway.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:O for Primus' sake... The whole accuracy thing is now getting ridiculous, but model train fans are gonna love what I have to say...
Remember how I talked about gauge and how scale can be measured from that? One caveat: The Model 0 Shinkansen Shouki uses 1,435mm or 4'8.5" standard gauge, but the JNR Class EF65 locomotive Getusei uses 1,067mm or 3'6" narrow gauge, and that is reflected in the MPG toys!

I was thinking the same thing.
And then I was trying to look at the rails to see if they were different sizes. Would kinda suck not being able to couple them all up like that because they use the different rail gauges
Maybe the MPs will have adjustable wheels to let fans choose between real-world-accurate different gauges and fiction-accurate same gauges.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So what you're saying is is that Shouki can run on the North Western Railway while Getsuei can run on the Skarloey Railway.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:O for Primus' sake...

You could, but the rails would look kinda off tho. Like I said, it's reflected in the MPG figures, so Getsuei's rails are narrower than Shouki's.
Taken the liberty of looking up the gauges for everyone:
4'8.5" Standard gauge: Shouki, Yukikaze
3'6" Narrow gauge: Getsuei, Kaen, Seizan, Suiken

PRE-ORDER Transformers Masterpiece MPG-02 Trainbot Getsuei
Pre-order scheduled to arrive in September

What, include it and not include it simultaneously? How very Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I wonder if this Raiden will include the orange secondary chestplate, or if that'll be left out because of the Headmasters animators' negligence.
Mad Blitzwing: Whaahahahaha! Why not do both?!

I mean, obviously it would be possible to include the secondary chestplate but make it an optional part of the combination. But outright including it and not including it... I don't think Takara have removed their common sense that completely.
