Sort By SortARU Model Train Kits
Japan is well known and loved for its focus on quality hobby-building kits, and it is an epicenter of some of the most epic communities related to building highly detailed miniatures of just about anything you can think of. The same can also be said about Japan’s other love that might never run out of steam: locomotives. So, put these things together and what do you assemble? Plenty of incredible model train kits, including this line of ARU Model. What sets ARU apart is its focus on brass etchings over the now more traditional plastic model kit varieties. This makes them especially sought-after pieces of craftsmanship, and something any builder would be thrilled to create and show off. Shop it all here at Plaza Japan!

Frequently Asked Questions
Which gauges do ARU model train kits run on?
ARU models run on N, HO, and O gauges, and their unique brass designs will be especially exciting to show off on a track near you. For the specific kits you’re looking at, be sure to check the packaging before ordering!
How do I build an ARU model train?
Because these kits are made with brass, it’s good to take precautions. Take extra care when snipping, including by using tools better suited for cutting wire over cutting plastic, and of course, refrain from sanding as you might with a plastic model kit.
How do I maintain a model train?
Because ARU model train kits are made out of brass, it’s good to take special precautions so that the metal doesn’t get bent or damaged. Keeping your train stored somewhere like a display case can ensure nothing happens accidentally. In terms of cleaning, wiping with a soft cloth will do the trick.
