Haruka garden railway
I took this photo late Sunday after enjoying some fun with friends in the garden.

Very atmospheric, love the architecture showcased in this shot. Must be a popular railway, there's quite the crowd waiting for the next train!

If you notice, I also have Abraham Lincoln on the other end. I use the model system to teach my daughter how things work and history. When she was a few years old, she stood there, pointed to the figure, and said, "That's Abram Lincoln!"- very fun to hear.drewzero1 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 2:45 pmOn his way to Waterloo Station?mymodeltrain wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:57 pm Rik, that is Napoleon, indeed, as a friend of mine told me about that.

I didn't notice, but I see him now! I love that idea and should try to copy it... We mostly have generic figures but my preschool son has had a lot of fun with cartoon characters, action figures, superheroes etc. riding on the line. Time to sneak in some fun learning as well!
Re: Haruka garden railway
Thats just brilliant. The lighting is superb and a model to show off quite rightly..
The idea for talking history with your line is also brilliant. Unfortunately history isn't taught that much now in the schools and what there is it's mainly about the Romans from what my second youngest granddaughter tells me. We had her over a few days ago and I got on to the subject of gas masks and she looked at me with eyes that said " What the heck are you going on about" when I told her why they were worn, she just shrugged her shoulders and carried on with something else. How very disappointing it is, I learned a lot about history and even now I am finding out things that I never knew about then.
Sorry for digressing.....
