meldrew Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks for the Vid, you were right it didn't look all that steep until next to the other train. Quite an amazing bit of engineering. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yeah, this was a steep one for sure. Link to comment
stevenh Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Although it is funicular... it's damn awesome... I have a friend who is a Monk-in-training at a shrine in Koyasan, so I visit there often. The full album is here: http://modelrail.otenko.com/photo-album?itemid=7652 Link to comment

bill937ca Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I've ridden funiculars in Pittsburgh, Quebec and Lisbon and really don't find them that exciting. But they are very uncommon in this day and age. Link to comment
