thanks for sharing Garth, Japan becomes more and more interesting for Z scale.

 

Will the superelevated track be offered with wood ties as well as concrete? Will there be a flat to elevated transition track? When will these be available?

 

There will be no transition track. According to Rokuhan, it is not needed. You can shim the flat track if desired. Wood ties are available as well as Concrete in both 195 and 220 Radius. These will be released on the 18th of this month in Japan with the rest of the world to follow soon.
