    Is Look Model Japan still in business? I hear they make some good quality N Scale passenger cars. If so is there a way to contact the owners of the store without being rerouted to their web domain site? Their catalog and site is still up but no way to contact them.

    Great question. I haven't seen them selling on eBay (primary store) in almost three years now. I can only assume they aren't around any longer. I had several cars from them and they were very good models.

    Ken appears to be on extended hiatus (or out of the business entirely). I haven't seen any new activity on his website in almost 5 years.

    Cheers,

    I purchased a couple of his pieces from the Ebay store, but that was some time ago. A shame; he made some nice pieces

    It is a real shame.

    His locomotives were mediocre.

    But his passenger cars were fantastic.

    Unfortunately, he didn't have an A rating business sense. When he sold a car on ebay, it had little tiny photos- and you often could not make out the great detail of the car.

    That is all too bad. I was just about at the point of activelt trying to acquire some of his stuff when he closed up shop.

    I would LOVE for him to get back into it.
