Driven by passion, unparalleled craftsmanship and a keen attention to detail, Akane represents the epitome of vintage craftsmanship. Known mainly for offering model locomotives in HO scale, Akane exudes a charm and authenticity like no other. With an extensive collection depicting major American railroads, each train model has its own story, its own allure, which beckons the heart of every collector and kindles the spirit of locomotive reminiscence.

Akane, born amidst the bustling toy industry, graced the world with its first appearance in the late 195s. Initiated in Japan, the brand was brought to fame by George Menard, an American businessman. Recognized for its delicately-crafted brass models, Akane was a shining star in the vintage toy heaven. Interesting fact - did you know the Japanese word 'Akane' means 'deep red'? It symbolizes the brand’s passion and enduring commitment to deliver the finest, most realistic brass model trains in the toy industry.
