mags_minibuilds Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We will be visiting Tokyo/Kyoto in June. Any recommendations on where to find second hand low cost HO scale (DC) locomotives? It's for my 6 year old son and he likes steam and diesel locos...not so much of the Shinkansen stuff. I don't know how big the market is for used HO scale items in Japan but thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has more info on this. Thank you. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Mandarake in the Nakano Broadway building has a model train shop (along with dozens of anime shops). I looked and there were only five HO items listed online at this time. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?keyword=HO gauge&lang=en Another second hand dealer is Hobby Land Pochi. The links below give locations in Kanto and Kansai areas. Kanto https://hobbyland-pochi.net/pages/store.php/?store=1 Kansai https://hobbyland-pochi.net/pages/store.php/?store=2 1 1 Link to comment
Raicho485 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Monta would be one option if you have any chance to stay in Tokyo. Used model train shop. https://www.imon.co.jp/MODELS/INDEX083.MBR/SHOP Like some other shops, this store calls 1/80 scale as 16-ban instead of HO. Buyee would be another way to bid items in Yahoo Japan Auction from out of Japan. I got many model trains by buyee! https://buyee.jp 1 Link to comment
