In 1966? No. It’s still uncommon enough today that when trains are disfigured and/or vandalised with graffiti, it gets a mention in the news media.

Cheers,

Yeah, nothing’s changed. I’ve been in some out-of-the-way places in Japan, and the only thing I’ve copped were a lot of curious, but friendly, stares.

Cheers,

Mark.

  1. B&M/MEC It’s a tie, I model both in the 70’s in HO

  2. PRR, I’ve always loved the PRR, even run a K4 on my B&M layout from time to time [:D]

  3. Southern Pacific, no real reason here, just developed a liking as a kid and held on to it

Yes, there is some amazing scenery in Japan - and yet what I find most interesting are the railroads that are crammed in to typical Japanese urban settings. Like the Enoshima Dentetsu - ‘Enoden’, which threads its way through narrow streets, behind shops and houses, and between blocks of flats. As a result my scenery tends towards the mundane.

I have some photos of the portable part of the layout on my Fotopic pages.

I’m not much chop taking photos now, as these days I’m blind in one eye, so they are the handiwork of a mate, Dave M. When the fixed part of the layout starts to look more presentable, I intend to have him over to take some more!

Cheers,
