Japanese logging line with great railcar...

Post by Andrew » Mon Nov 16, 2020 9:03 am

Another random Youtube find (blame lockdown), this time a 2'6" Japanese logging line, that looks like a massive garden railway and features a VERY modellable railcar. I've got a Peppa Pig school bus somewhere that's almost exactly the right shape, just needs a coat of green paint and some yellow stripes...

It's a bit long, but you'll find the good bits...

Oops, sorry Peter! I was intrigued by the title of your thread and thought "ooh, I'll have a look at that when I've got time", then clearly forgot all about it. Which is ironic, because I was actually thinking that the little railcar was just the sort of model you'd make a fine job of...

I've been watching it in short bursts during breaks and have finally reached the end - personal highlights are the little "stations"/shelters dotted along the route, the makeshift aqueduct carrying a waterfall over the line at 26 mins (there really is a prototype for everything...) and the tunnel at 29 mins...

Let's see if anyone will suggest it for a third time...
