Talk about JIT ;-)

 

I can't decide if it's large scale or O scale - would you know?

 

I've seen video of other proto markets like this across SE Asia.

Not just Asia. There used to be a street market in Philadelphia on the Route 47 trolley line running right through it.

Route 47 trolley is gone, but it looks like the market continues to prosper.

North American urban planners have been very good at eradicating anything non-standard from our cities.

For those wishing more info on Route 47, and the state of parking in Philly.

Great job! They even captured the folding up of canopies! I was there in Maeklong station in Bangkok before, but was not lucky to see this in action due to some train accident...

Hm, I think the vegetables will have that interesting trace of grease taste after the train passed. A must for every rail fan. :D
