Very old HO kits question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I have several unused boxed kits that have no manufacturers name on the box, only says Model Railroad. Inside are the assembly instructions with the name "New One Model toy Works Japan, HO Open Enders" does anyone know of this company as I can find nothing on them with searches. thanks Bum.

Early Japanese brass imports in kit form. A lot of the early brass stuff came in as RTR and kits. I'm sure Mr. Williams probably has information on this.

Do you have any pictures?

These look like Imperial Model Products imports. Perhaps very early ones. I have kits for passenger cars in very similar boxes.

I think you may be right.

Other than the difference in type of car(s), look at the coupler in the third photo...
