Looking forward to getting a pair of LUMO versions!

Not sure if I heard Mr Kato correctly on the expected dates.....

Christmas this year!

Oh wow. With prices TBC I'd assumed they were a fair way off.

I'll probably go for a TPE and a Lumo.

A TPE one for me.

Assuming I can get it into. The US.

The posters said Spring/Summer 2026.

An obvious but welcome development.

Will be interesting to see how closely they represent the variations - the TP 802/2 and HT 802/3 are the same externally but the interior layout is different.
The Hull Trains livery is also a potential trap - the colour band is different on every one of the units,so need to pick one identity and customise

I resisted the Revolution 180 in Hull Trains colours (hateful unreliable units), but could be more tempted by one of these.

Kato have said in their press release that the existing mouldings will be used with the agreement of the Train Operators.

At the NEC show today there was a poster confirming the Avanti 5 car Class 805 will be added to the range in Summer/Autumn 2026.
