Vintage 8mm film- Meitetsu Seto Line Nagoya Castle

[bikkuri bahn]

8mm film of the Seto Line when it ran in the moat of Nagoya Castle, the station at Honmachi had a gauntlet track at one end to clear an overpass. Very modelgenic location.

Interesting location and rolling stock. The film was made just one year before the branch was closed. The overpass actually leads to one of the main gates of the castle, so if someone wants to modell a Japanese castle with a train line around it, running in its moat, then this line is perfect.

Never heard of a gauntlet track before. I had to study that for a bit...

Ditto. Well, I was aware of the concept, but not the name.
