Japanese Railroad Ephemera

[gr8tfuldead]

Where can I find Japanese railway posters or signs, etc. to decorate my train room? American railroad stuff seems easy to get, but the only things Japanese I've seen on line are those female railroad employee figurines.

I've occasionally seen some very basic yellow/black station signs on eBay. But yeah--I'd like to find some stuff, too, and not at "collector's item" prices.

I do not know if these dealers work in English, but you will find their ads in Japan Railfan Magazine.

I'm going to try and get to Ginga21 while I'm in Osaka in November, according to the Magazine ad they are 12 minutes walk from Hankyu's Toyonaka station.

 

In 2006 the Tokyu Hands store in Toyko had a table full of railway bits and pieces like this sort of thing from ginga21, might be worth checking.
