JR 500系 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm jealous! It's a limited edition set! :) It sure is a long train, and like Toni san said, it looks really nice in the picture! 1 Link to comment

VJM Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) My good friend Kevin offered me this at a price that was too good to pass up, and since everyone else was buying one, peer pressure was too much.... even if it is a "foreign" model.

Pauljag900 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Nice purchase there vjm,foreign it may be but strangely does nt look out of place,really nice train,you run what you want mate it's your layout! Edited August 17, 2016 by Pauljag900 1 Link to comment
VJM Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Can I just say whoever designed the couplers on the Kato TGV....bah...seriously??? What were you thinking? 2 Link to comment
serotta1972 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I break a sweat uncoupling these TGV trains, it feels like I'm going to break something but I haven't yet so they seem to be pretty strong. Link to comment
VJM Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) In the interests of better accessibility to the temple, a bridge/underpass has been built so that people can get to it from the road. Also, street lights have been added. Edited April 24, 2021 by VJM 17 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 very cleaver VJM! nice inversion of the walkway! Tori is a nice touch at the walkway entrance. jeff Link to comment
serotta1972 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 VJM, you are so considerate to the N Scale people of your beautiful layout. It would be very tempting for folks to try and get to the river, why no access to the river below? Link to comment
Pauljag900 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Again,superb attention to detail! The only problem with this layout is that there s not nearly enough pics of it! It s superb vjm. Link to comment
locidm Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Man, first time I read this thread, and loving every bit of it. Love the track plan, the lighting, and the scenery. So amazed that you're able to squeeze in a little of everything from onsen to temple, from town to mountain, from turn table to 3 stations and a yard. Truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment
Mr Frosty Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Excellent. Where did you find the vehicles with built in lights? Most of the ones I have found looked quite poor in comparison. Link to comment
VJM Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Most of the cars are Tomytec vehicles, with LEDs added. They didn't come built-in. 1 Link to comment
VJM Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) A picture of the path from the other side. I think I need to put more lights along the path back to the temple.

VJM Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Added some shunting signals from Greenmax. Drilled them out, placed an LED, put a blob of paint on the back. Hopefully you can see them. Edited April 24, 2021 by VJM 16 Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Always a pleasure seeing what you've done VJM, I've always found your layout to be great inspiration! 1 Link to comment

VJM Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Meanwhile, space has been cleared in the park and the local Steam Locomotive Preservation Society has placed their pride and joy, the C57, on a plinth so that it may be appreciated by railfans while munching on their takoyaki... The C57 was purchased second hand as junk, but there's actually nothing wrong with it. It's the older Kato model with the motor in the cab. Edited April 24, 2021 by VJM 15 Link to comment
sandiway Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Ridiculously good. For photography, you could use focus stacking to improve depth of field. And it'd make your layout look even better. 1 Link to comment

Philphil Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Such an amazing layout! I love how you placed a lot of those buildings in the town, since they're not parallel to the roads, it makes everything look so much more interesting! I just hope my roads come out half as amazing as yours! Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Amazing work as always! Really clever idea of using the overhead bridge in another way! 1 Link to comment
