kbreck Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 hello all!! It is a beautiful sunny 70 degree day here as I browse ebay looking for my first Japanese railway purchase. I believe I have been bitten by the Keihan bug so either a 600 or 700 will be the first purchase. A big thank you to all who have helped me so far. Big question is which one to go for, Thomas, K-On or tea time?? Link to comment
bill937ca Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hello and welcome! There is an existing thread with information on the Keihan Otsu line and trains. http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/9842-keihan-%C5%8Ctsu-lines-model-trains/ What you can go for will depend to a large degree on what is available. Items in the Japanese distribution system have shorter shelf lives than in North America. Brand choices are mainly Tomytec or B-Train Shorty from the English language dealers. Here are a couple of Keihan searches on the Hobby Search website: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=104&cat=rail&state=&sold=0&sortid=0&searchkey=Keihan+700 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=104&cat=rail&state=&sold=0&sortid=0&searchkey=Keihan+600 Other dealers are ModelTrainPlus (he doesn't carry B-Train Shorty anymore) and Amiami .
