kvp Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 It might be interesting that there are a few rather serious Lego train builders in Japan. Osaka Umeda Hankyu Department store exhibition (Aug 5. - Aug12.): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=546620 from last year: (14th JAM Convention Aug. 16-18 Tokyo Big Sight) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=533173 There are various build styles from the B-train shorty like 6 stud wide minis to the more prototypical 7-8 stud wide ones and anything in between. Scale is usually varied in the same range tin plate 0 gauge trains used in the past. 3 Link to comment
Matteo_IT Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Wow... there is also our ETR 300 Settebello... very luxury train! Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 This is fantastic! From a former Lego builder, this is great! The Skyliner looks perfect, and nice curves on the 485 series! Most well done was the NEX E259, but it's missing its trademark white NEX logo at the front. Fantastic job on the lights too! Link to comment
E6系 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Whilst I appreciate the creativity and labour involved, my nightmare is to wakeup one day to a world full of 12" plastic nodules .... :( Link to comment
Keikyu Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Hankyu ones are simply adorable. If I could find a place to get the parts I need I'd build one, it'd be a neat little shelf model. 1 Link to comment

There is a dedicated site for this, called bricklink. Very similar to ebay, but only for Lego: http://www.bricklink.com Link to comment
linkey Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 great more images that I can send to my LEGO friends who are working on a Japanese section for the Melbourne L-Guage Train Club layout. (yeah I am a member of the group too (M>LTC)) Link to comment

linkey Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Bricklink would only provide bricks and some mocs (My Own Creations) but sometimes don't have designs of the item. Bricklink is more of a LEGO users eBay to sell and buy LEGO parts to create anything or to buy sets from around the world. Link to comment
kvp Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) There are a couple of new galleries from the Umeda exhibition, but this photo is interesting: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6135113 Could it be that the builder of the two models is the same person or they just know each other?
