Katsumi was established in 1947 in Japan by Katsumi Miki, situated in the heart of Ota City, Tokyo. Over the years, Katsumi has built a reputation for their remarkable precision in replicating real trains into scaled-down models. Not only are they lauded for their high-quality brass models, they are also cherished for the high level of craftsmanship apparent in all their products. An interesting fact is that, throughout the years, Katsumi has always held staunchly to their original mission: "To present the joy of model trains to people of all ages." This passion and dedication have made them a timeless favorite among collectors.
