I found my way here via @Kamome442’s Yurakucho project. I got back into modelling recently and have been building kits but needed a project. I’d been looking at 6.5mm Nj through finding things like Vivant but once you are down the Finescale path and especially when you think you might be scratch building point work anyway it turns out 0.6mm is important. So 7.1mm it is and the first job is to learn how to build track and modify rolling stock. it’s probably also worth mentioning that this is leading to a layout, but I don’t have space to do a big chunk of the Yamanote, nothing close. Although if it was I’d have to do ebisu, not the best from viewers perspective but it has might favourite boarding music (the harry lime theme from the third man) and one of my favourite sake shops (kimijimaya); it has a great tachibar as well. Ive been doing a bit of research and thought that would be worth sharing plus some of the how and why of what will be a very slow build.
