All I 'want' is a short, (3 cars?) Shinkansen set. Does anyone know of a good source for new? Please PM me if replies will violate the rules. I can also be reached at: sfg.trains 'at' gmail. Thanks!
Selection is pretty small. Kato: E5 Zoukei Mura: 0 series Tenshodo/Bachmann: 500 series There is also the Model Power 0 series, but that is a pretty basic 'toy grade' model. On the other end of the spectrum, you have KTM brass models, which can exceed $1000 per car. If you want to travel to japan and get them from the KTM factory store, you can do that, but finding full sets online is uncommon. eBay or japanese sites like Yahoo Auctions are pretty much the only source for these models. Hattons has stocked the Zoukei Mura model in the past, but runs of that set are sporadic.
