We specialise in model trains, and collectable figure sets, but can also supply plastic kits (ships, tanks, cars, planes, bikes etc), Gundam & robots (both kits and assembled), diecast model cars and Radio Control. Basically - if it is a hobby item and comes from Japan from any of the major manufacturers and is stocked by our range of suppliers - we can get it for you !!!
Even if you are not interested in Japanese trains specifically, but would like something that is guaranteed to attract attention when you run it on you own or your club's layout, have a look at this page. Also a mine of information for the Japanese model train enthusiast !!!
A new service that will commence during 2006. Quality video
footage of many aspects of the railways of Japan will be released
on DVD ( in English),
as well as a preview service of the many Japanese titles available.
A new layout with a new concept - a multi-person modular layout !!!
The current layout I first exhibited in October 2002, but many changes have been made since then. Version 4 is now finished, and features the addition of a Bullet train line !!!
Progressive history of the first model railway
I know of that was designed and built over the
Internet. Now it is only history !!!
A large layout that was planned as the next exhibition layout, but will now
be built as a home layout, when time and space permits.
A small layout that was planned to be built before
Shin-Yamanote, but will probably not be built now.
The project is on hold - maybe someone
else would like to use the idea for a small rural-type layout ???
containing .....
Details of the main transportation
systems in the Tokyo area, together with train types, connection details, times
etc ...
Details and recollections of my first visit to Japan in Jan/Feb 2001, particularly regarding the railway aspect.
Also tips and hints for the unsuspecting foreign traveller !!!
My second visit to Japan, in Aug 2002.
My third visit to Japan, in Mar/Apr 2004.
My fourth visit to Japan, in Aug/Sep 2005.
Included in the 4th visit was a visit to
EXPO2005, and this included the JR Central pavilion which had a Maglev train on
display.
See this
page for details and pictures of this experience, and the N scale models of the Maglev trains that I bought.
