Its a hobby trade show with a public element.  As for layouts you would only find manufacturer layouts as far as I know.  Here`s a report from last year. Now how many of those new products did I buy?

I just tried both and they worked for me.  Sorry Captain.

Weird. When I tried, it would take me to Kato album. Oh well!

[bill937ca]

Oh, I see where the problem was. It was on my blog. Ooops!!  

 

There was an update today on my blog with links to photo galleries of models shown at the show.

 

And the Tomix link works.    And I fixed the other one.  

 

Sorry about that.

Modemo is going to release a model of the Keihan 60 series, the "through cars" which ran between the Otsu division and the main line. Wow...sure buy...

KTR8000…ooooh. Saw this one lots while in Kyoto. It's loud, and looks like a whale on wheels. Love it.

[cteno4]

also some photos, some neat stuff but still no trains. unfortunately trains is not their focus at hlj, too bad as they are a very good shop to deal with. i thought of contacting them about doing more trains when we were down to just hs for easy overseas ordering...
