Peeta Model Railroad

[Guest bill937ca]

I'm not really sure what  this model railroad is called.  It is one of two I'm going to post tonight.  Both of these modelers appear to know each other. 

 

This layout like the other layout is about dining room table size which probably about the maximum realistic size for most modellers in Japan if they can have a permanent layout.

 

What makes this web site really special is the photos.  This guy loves to take gorgeous close ups of rolling stock and jokes about getting carried taking photos away at club meets.

 

To give you the maximum drill down for photos all links I will post will be in Japanese.  At the bottom I'll give you Google and Excite translation machines.

There is a construction log showing steps in building the layout:

There is also a gallery of photos taken at various hobby shop and rental layouts. Oh, how I love the scenes in these photos!

Bill,

Another incredible find! I just started looking these photos and there is so much to see. I'm seeing model train sets and bridges I've neer seen before.
