Welcome to the Tomix / EasyTrolley Modelers' Site!

This website is a repository for information in English about the Tomix model railway product line of Tomy of Japan. It has no commercial connection to Tomy or Tomix, and exists for the benefit of railway modelers who are interested in, or are using, Tomix products. All aspects are included -- locomotives, rolling stock, bullet trains, track systems (brown, grey, Fine Track and Mini Track), track designs, control systems, buildings, buying Tomix internationally, Tomytec, etc.

Tomy generally restricts this product to the Japanese market, and most of the information about it is in Japanese. Therefore it is hard to find out about it, to figure out how to get it, and to just figure it out! Tomix turns out to be a well designed, quality product line. Its competitor Kato, with its Unitrack products, is better known outside of Japan, with export distribution and marketing in place.

The EasyTrolley / EasyTram concept was developed to help more people to easily model street railways, both at home and collectively at conventions and "meets." You don't even need to build and wire a module! It uses Tomix Mini Rail and street kit products to create versatile and realistic, tight-radius street railway trackage for N-gauge model trolleys and trams.

A companion Tomix group exists at groups.yahoo.com/group/Tomix for discussion purposes. There is a similar group (groups.yahoo.com/group/KatoUnitrack) for Kato Unitrack users. EasyTrolley-N / EasyTram-N discussion also occurs at the groups.yahoo.com/group/nscaletraction discussion group.
