History

The magazine was first issued in 1947, produced by Haruo Ishibashi and Kiyo Yamazaki.[2] Early editions were mimeographed, with no photographs, and hand-written diagrams.[2] Following the death of Yamazaki, Ishibashi became editor-in-chief of the magazine and president of the publisher in 2003.[2] The magazine celebrated its 800th issue in January 2014, although the magazine had actually been issued 860 times including special editions.[2] In April 2019, Noriyuki Natori (former editor-in chief of "Rail Magazine") became editor in chief of this magazine, and Yoshihiro Imon became the president of the Kigei Publishing.[3]

Circulation

The magazine had a peak circulation of around 30,000 in the 1970s, but this had fallen to around 10,000 by 2014.[2]
