[to2leo]

After seeing the latest release from Giordano Japan,
I am wondering what other train related item do you collect?

I collect plastic IC farecards.  I originally only collected ones I bought abroad that I used when riding, but recently recanted this policy

PS: I need a Pasmo card.

How about the special tickets you could get at the stations? They used to be made from much thicker paper/cardboard stock and sometimes were larger and often had special b/w drawings or color prints. I have a few but haven't paid much attention for the last 10 years.

I've got three Passnet cards hanging in my office from my trip to Tokyo, along with some JR-related keychains and cell-phone charms. And a map of central Tokyo with all of the rail lines plotted out that I stare at when I get bored. Otherwise, I limit my collecting to the models…
