Just want to recommend the latest issue of Japan Railfan Magazine, especially those interested in older rolling stock.  The edition has a special section on the design and coloring of JNR's rolling stock from the late 50's to early 60's, and includes a nice fold out plate and color pictures.  Also an insert for major private railway rolling stock rosters as of April of this year, very informative.

Thanks for the info, I'll put it on my list to buy at Book Off when I get back to Japan.  Buying them new here is such a hassle and so expensive, I've basically given up. :(

My copy arrived last week, a very interesting issue.

 

I get a copy monthly from Hobby Search along with RM Models and Hobby of Model Railroading to spread the postage over three magazines. As Miyakoji says a bit expensive but I've cut back on some of the U.S. and British magazines I used to get every month to compensate.
