Tony Galiani Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have started working my way through this series and it is giving me too many ideas! Both for potential layouts or dioramas as well as new destinations I want to see when I get back to Japan. I ordered some Tomix Kihas after seeing a show on Hokkaido. Last night I watched the episode on the Shimatetsu which prompted me to think about a diorama of Aino station or of the station (the name escapes me at the moment) which is the closest station to the sea in Japan. I am having trouble sorting out my next project and this series is not helping! Cheers, Tony Galiani 2 Link to post

Tony Galiani Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There is also a new Train Cruise video available: Into the Depths of Mt. Fuji, Yamanashi & Nagano Train Cruise 44m 00s Broadcast on December 5, 2020 Available until March 31, 2024 Starting from Hachioji in Tokyo's west, our journey takes us to Mt. Fuji, then into the mountains of Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures. We watch traditional puppet theater. We alight at Mt.

As we make our way north, we stop by a Buddhist temple with a vineyard and a colossal radio telescope. Discover amazing scenery and sights deep in the mountains outside Tokyo. Not quite as full of train content at Japan Railway Journal but interesting and a good amount of train information. And a view of an excellent model of a Shinano tourist train wagon.

Tony Galiani Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Oops - I am not with the program! I didn't realize info on this had already been posted in November. I just noticed the show today when I was looking at the NHK web site so thought I would post about it. Sorry about that. Anyway, I enjoyed it - I have been looking at the NHK videos quite a bit since I can't travel right now. Ciao, Tony 1 Link to post

bobbodaclown Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 New Episode! Fukuoka: The Steely Backbone of Japan's Modernization February 6, 2021 The imperial steelworks established 120 years ago in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Pref., on the southern island of Kyushu, drove Japan's modernization. And coal mined in the nearby Chikuho area fuelled this industry. We visit old ironworks and coal mines along the railways that transported the coal, and eat a bento that has delighted travellers for a century. We meet a retired mechanic working to invigorate the area with railroad history and an ex-coal miner preserving its coal mining past for posterity. 1 Link to post
katoftw Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Oh interesting. The Chikuho area appeals to me. Happy happy. 1 Link to post
