Haruka garden railway Spring 2025

Post by mymodeltrain » Mon Apr 28, 2025 6:08 pm

After establishing the railway for 12 years, I opened it to the public for my neighbors to view for the first time this weekend. Here is the movie of the trains on that day. Enjoy.

Looks like a good day's running, especially as it got dark.

Rik,
That's right, when the light diffuses out in the early evening, the railway looks much better. We have perfect weather for the run only a few days of the year, and that day was one of them. Anyway, I always acknowledge to learn how to wire electric-powered locomotives from your website over 10 years ago.

We acquire skills in organizing things. Even a small event requires a lot of work. My wife and daughter took care of snacks and drinks, while I had to prepare and test the trains to make sure they worked. I have to charge all the batteries, and must have a reserved set in case, and so on. At the last minute, we realized that people cannot know where unless we make a sign to guide them, so my daughter and I went to the garage and used whatever wooden board we had to create a sign. It was fun, though.

Glad I could be of some help.
