■ Realities of Purchase Locations and Budgets for Train Enthusiasts Small vehicles running through dioramas. Collections lined up in glass cases. The enjoyment of model trains expands in various forms of "liking" for each individual. In recent years, the scope of enjoyment has broadened with self-made parts using 3D printers and sharing layout photos on social media. On the other hand, many people are hesitant at the entry point of purchasing, wondering "Where should I buy them?" or "How much do they cost?" Therefore, what's interesting is the purchasing behavior of those who actually own model trains. With that in mind, we conducted a survey on "How to Enjoy and Purchase Model Trains" in collaboration with Tetsudohiroba, targeting 138 men and women nationwide who responded "interested in trains" in a preliminary survey. *When quoting the content of this press release, please take the following actions:* * Indicate that the source is "A survey by NEXER Inc. and Tetsudohiroba." * Install a link to Tetsudohiroba (https://www.tetuhiro.com/) Survey Overview: "Survey on How to Enjoy and Purchase Model Trains" Survey Method: Internet-based questionnaire Survey Period: April 21, 2026 - April 30, 2026 Survey Target: Men and women nationwide who responded "interested in trains" in a preliminary survey Valid Responses: 138 samples Questions: Question 1: Do you own, or have you owned, model trains (N gauge, HO gauge, Plarail, etc.)?
