denrobert Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hello everyone, I am Robert and I joined this forum to learn more about Japanese Model Train. I'm going to start my collection this June since I'm going to stay in Chiba and Tokyo for 2 weeks. I want to know if there are stores or thrift shop that anyone here recommends where I could search for a brand new or second-hand model train. I'm planning to start with at least 2 for now and eventually expand the collection. Glad I found this community. Thank you! 4 Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Go to Models IMON, buy every H0j and H0e kit they have in stock, and then pass them on to me 😄 I was a bit too pre-occupied with other things while I was in Tokyo, so didn't really go to a model train shop. Doesn't help if you're travelling with people who don't care much about trains of course. Link to comment
