Bernard Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Really nice to see a hobby shop. I remember as a kid every town had a hobby shop now they are rare to find where I live. When you do find a shop, it is mostly adults who are in the store purchasing items. As a kid, I would go as often as I could. 1 Link to comment
Guest bill937ca Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 That actually is a rental layout in a Japanese store. Here's another far larger rental layout. A little barren on the scenery scale. http://n-hiroba.com/lay_20070202.html'>http://n-hiroba.com/lay_20070202.html http://n-hiroba.com/ Link to comment
loulasalle Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What exactly is a "rental layout"? Link to comment
cteno4 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Many Japanese hobby shops have layouts in them you can rent for set periods of time to run your trains. You can also rent tp trains to run! Some have camera trains and full cab mock ups with a screen and big tomix throttle setup that functions like a trial train throttle setup so you can "drive" your train. There are even a few companies that have mobile layouts you can rent for an event complete with camera and cab setup like above. Perfect for your kids birthday party. There are even a few hotel rooms you can rent complete with a layout to play with! Cheers Jeff 2 Link to comment

bnicolas1987 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I wonder I could have a similar layout in HO gauge... By the way, did someone notice that both songs of those videos are from the Character songs of the anime "Suzumiya Haruhi no yūutsu" / The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Link to comment

Bernard Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 A hotel room with a layout included.....just hope the it's not a basketball player from the NY Knicks.....they wouldn't fit in the bed or their feet would be hanging over the layout :) 1 Link to comment
