Introducing Model Trains for the first time with TomiKing online.
Posted by Justin (Chief Hobbyist) on Jun 28th 2025
You probably know us for diecast from flame-torched Hot Wheels to beautifully detailed Tomica Limited Vintage. It's been our lane for years. But for the collectors who've stuck around a while, you may have noticed that model trains were never too far from the picture.
For a long time, tucked between the car culture hype and the shelf shots, we carried a small but curated offering of model trains in our store. Mostly N scale, a few Z scale pieces here and there, and always selected with the same obsessive attention to detail that we apply to every 1:64. It wasn’t front and center, and it wasn’t loud. But it was there. And now? It’s finally time to give it the full spotlight it deserves.
We’re proud to officially introduce the Model Train section of TomiKing, powered by our sister brand, TomiKing Collectibles.
This isn’t a pivot. It’s an expansion. And honestly, it feels like the most natural next step in our journey as collectors.
Model trains bring a different kind of magic. While diecast cars offer a snapshot. A perfect, tiny moment frozen in time, trains offer movement, rhythm, atmosphere. They aren’t just meant to sit on a shelf. They live in layouts, cut through miniature towns, weave around imagined geographies. There’s a story in every circuit.
With this launch, we’re focusing on the scales we know and love: N scale, for its balance of detail and layout potential, and Z scale, for the absolute masters of space and subtlety. If you know, you know. These scales aren't just for casual display—they're for builders, for visionaries, for collectors who enjoy the long game.
We’re bringing in the brands that move the needle: Kato, American Z Line, MicroTrains, and more. Engines that run smooth. Rolling stock with clean, crisp markings. Track systems that actually hold up over time. It’s not about chasing hype here. It’s about quality, realism, and making sure the trains we offer are worthy of the layout you’ve spent years perfecting (or just started sketching).
And just like with diecast, we’re doing it with our usual TomiKing style. No overpromises, no smoke and mirrors. Just collector-first service, honest listings, and that "Shipped Within 24 Hours" Guarantee we now stand behind. Because if you've waited months for a backordered locomotive before, you already know how much that policy matters.
So whether you're returning to the rails or laying track for the first time, this is your station. We’re excited to grow this corner of the hobby with the same passion and care that built the rest of TomiKing. More than that, we're excited to meet the model train community where it lives: in the details, the planning, the quiet pride of watching a layout come to life.
Welcome aboard. The layout just got a little bigger.
