    Overseas visitors to Kansai and Japan-based forum members may want to check out the model railway show now being held at the Hankyu Umeda Department Store (9F), through August 5. This year's theme is "stations" so there are a few quite interesting prototype based layouts/dioramas depicting stations...

    One of the faster turnarounds in Japan, I reckon. *additionally notice the peculiar to Hankyu practice of announcing the train arrival track using "~go sen" rather than the common "~ban sen". Apparently this is because the "ban sen" term is used only for rolling stock depot/coach yar...

    Hankyu 3 way switch

    bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos

    A little excursion on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line this Monday yielded this discovery- a three way switch at the “down” end of Shounai Station. These type of switches are relatively rare due to their expense of construction and maintenance, but Hankyu saw it fit to construct one at this location, pos...

    Years ago, perhaps in a previous century, my first exposure to Japanese traction and trains was an ancient VHS tape called Rising Sun Traction. The tape opened with a sequence in and around Umeda Station in Osaka and there was a sequence across the river at Juso Station. Lots of maroon trains comi...

    Was flipping through the channels last night, and stopped at the variety program "kenmin show", which highlights unique aspects of each of the 47 prefectures in Japan. I usually wouldn't bother to pay much attention, but the theme was Osaka, and specifically the characteristics of the railways ther...

    Ring Tone

    Mitch posted a topic in Off Topic

    Like you all haven't heard enough from me this morning. Is there any way to obtain a ring tone, or make one like the departure tune at Hankyu's Umeda depot? If pointing and calling doesn't get me thrashed by "The Lovely Renee'" (Mrs. M.) this one will. My son could do it but he's deaf and wo...

    A short video showing a Hankyu shin 1000 series being assembled at Hitachi's Kasado plant. Some other educational points in the latter half of the video, courtesy of the railway museum in Saitama.

    Saw this non-consumer product Toshiba CM on TV tonight. There are two versions, a general version and a version for Kansai. Products include pmsm motors, hd300 hybrid loco, and passenger information displays. General version: Kansai version (this version uses Hankyu 1000 series rather than...

    http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/11/kyoto-can-teach-the-dc-metro-a-lesson-about-express-tracks/382286/ I don't know why Kyoto is used as an example, as this practice is widespread in Japan, maybe it's because Kyoto is trendy nowadays, especially among the waspy liberals that likely read urban...

    Did anyone post this yet? http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/09/07/the-most-crowded-train-lines-during-rush-hour-in-tokyo-osaka-and-nagoya-are/ Pretty interesting, data is apparently from MLIT, so I think it's trustworthy. I never lived in Kanto, so the figures for those lines don't mean a lot...
