It's not out until May/June, so a bit early to comment, but even with fees it'll likely be cheaper (marginally) to buy from Japan.

At Warley Kato had a set on their stand with a note that it will have different trucks (bogies) and the rooves wll be black.

This was a GWR set, the only set I can find listed at Hobbyseach and Plaza Japan is for an Azuma set.

Anyone know of an expected delivery date in the UK for the 9 Car Azuma?

Already here with Traintrax and Gaugemaster, at least. Arrived some time back.

Mine arrived about 18 July from Traintrax.

Wonder if we will ever get any of the other 800 series in some of the other operator colours now there's a fair few of them out there?
