July 2025 news from Train Trax UK - we have moved!
It’s been an intense couple of weeks—but we’re pleased to report that our move is complete and we’re now up and running in our new HQ. Every last box of track, every loco, every scenic detail has been safely relocated… and yes, we even know where most of it is.
Our systems are now back online, orders are being processed, and many of the products that were running low are now restocked. There are still a few loose ends to tie up, so thanks for bearing with us—we really appreciate your patience.
Our new address appears below. Please let us know in advance if you wish to visit us - over the summer period there probably won't be someone on-site every day.
🚆 Latest Arrivals
This week we’ve received several large (and yes, rather expensive!) deliveries from Japan and KATO's UK distributor. Highlights include:
Track & Accessories:
Individual track pieces
Boxed track sets
Starter sets
Buildings and structures
Some of these had been unavailable for a while due to manufacturing delays, so it’s good to see them return. If you used the “email me when available” feature on our website, you’ll have already had first dibs!

📦 New Pre-orders from KATO Japan
We’ve also begun to catch up on our admin backlog, which means the latest KATO Japan announcements pictured above are now open for pre-order. Most are due to arrive in Q4 2025.
Notable highlights include:
Pocket Line re-runs – always excellent value and great fun
C62 Steam Locomotives – two beautiful versions
Odakyu "Romancecar" and 787 Series “36+3” luxury EMUs
Regional commuter units from across Japan
A new batch of buildings, vehicles, and figures.
As always, these are made in limited runs with no guarantees of re-issues—so if something catches your eye, it’s worth getting your pre-order in.

Thanks again for your continued support through the move. We’re excited about the next chapter and can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
Best wishes,
