Deagostini Japan in cooperation with Rokuhan to create a 100 piece subscription at about USD$20.00 dollars a month at current exchange rates to create a layout with O series Shinkansen on elevated track and KIHA 52 on lower figure 8, the monthly book contains instruction on how to finish each piece and decorate using Tamiya paints, this sort of approach has been done in N scale successfully in Japan in the past. I am providing two links one to the You Tube video advertising this product and it's introduction on August 15th in Japan, the second to their very slick web page and while it is only in Japanese and aimed domestic market in Japan as these books will be sold in convenience stores in Japan This is how the original Japanese models and track from Akia later known as RealZJ started. KIHA 52 plus track and track components will com from Rokuhan including the power packs and point controllers.
