Plarail 55 Years Book

8 Replies, 6169 Views

I found this cool book in Tokyo. It's a 55 year anniversary book, which of course is 5 years old now but it still has an awesome amount of pictures of Plarail releases including the year of release. It's great for research and helping me with info for the Plarail DB.

It's over 180 pages and too thick to scan nicely but here are a few pages to keep you going. I highly recommend you buy it if you are a collector.

If there is something you are interested in let me know and I will check if it's in here.

That looks to be a fantastic book Finno, thanks for sharing the pictures. At least I can read the years which are important for researching trains. I am trying to find one for myself now. Is this a hard cover? Does it have written history or all pictures? How many pages? Why do I ask so many questions?
Here is the ISBN 978-4-591-14053-6.

Found one in Japan here:

Thanks so much Finno, I was having trouble locating any from anywhere since I didn't know the exact wording. The Isbn number helped a lot.

Its strange as I found several Japanese sellers on Amazon US selling them but couldn't find any selling on Amazon Japan. I am considering the ones from Japan on Amazon US but their shipping times are too long.

The site in your link is all in Japanese. Couldn't find any on Jauce using the ISBN but they might not be set up for that search.
I think this is the 2019 60th Anniversary version:
