Product Description

[Special feature: Local private railways doing their best!]
Local private railways have long been plagued by a decline in usage due to motorization, and in recent years have also been affected by the declining birthrate and aging population, continuing to struggle.
Even under these circumstances, in order to promote use, active promotional activities are being carried out that take advantage of the line's unique features, such as updating stations and carriages, reviewing operation formats, and even operating tourist trains in cooperation with local governments along the line to strengthen tourism.
In this special issue, we will be focusing on local private railways across the country that have such distinctive features, and introducing the initiatives of each company and their unique vehicles and trains along with model products.
