kato and tomix train stores

greetings,

what specific stores in akihabara tokyo can i buy kato and tomix N scale trains?

I would suggest you visit the JNSforums (Japanese Modelling & Japan Rail Enthusiasts forum). I'm not sure if I can link to a thread there, but this one :-
http://www.jnsforum.com/index.php/topic,2181.0/topicseen.html

should have a fair amount of info which will be useful. You may have to register to view the thread, but if you are interested in Kato and Tomix you would probably find the forum useful!

To2leo (JNSforums member) has a handy Google map which may help you too.

Hope this helps :)

Some specific stores I can recommend to you are two located in the Akihabara District of Tokyo.

One is called IMON:
Here is the Japanese link:

Print out the Japanese map so someone can help you at Akihabara Station.
The best I can describe is when you exit the ELECTRIC TOWN EXIT of JR Akihabara Station, walk Across the street keeping the overhead railroad bridge to your left and the big CLUB SEGA will be on your right. Walk down that street and look for the IMON on the right hand side like in the picture on the link there.

They have a nice selection of trains.

Another shop is the TAM TAM model shop in Akihabara, it is on the main street "CHUO DORI", if you are walking away from Akihabara Station it will be on your left hand side past Tokyo Metro Suehirochō Station.

Here's the map to print out:

Those are just two of many shops you might find in Akihabara district of Tokyo.
