Well, another night at the club (and a new potential member) and we have got lots done on the Japanese front. Ben has kindly cut a piece of MDF to provide a suitable base for the tramway. We also had a play with positioning the buidlings.

Enjoy

You're only supposed to blow the B lo ood y doors off!

Tonight further consideration was given to the proposal for a tram line on Yamanouchi Oshika.

Initially this was just on the new scenic board, although based on a suggestion from 009Matt, the system is starting to take shape....

To start with, the main line station tram stop has been sited. In this view, the main station building will be located where the bare area is between the road and the arches. There will also be a carpark and bus terminal. The tram stop is on top of the wall in the background - where the track has been positioned.

The tram line then continues over the little side road, and terminates at the tram depot which will be situated on the embankment.

Now I need to find a suitable two-road shed for the tram depot as well as other out buildings.

The tram line will be operational and will make use of the Tomytec Portrams as well as a couple of Modermo offerings. Perhaps the new Kato tram may also get a look in...

Tonight's train was a short freight in the hands of another Warley aquisition - a DF50...very nice. The holes on the front are where the hand rails will go when I get round to fitting them...

Also from Warley, but mainly aimed at my 2010 Challenge project is this lovely little lorry, which certainly looks the part. Not too sure what it is, but think it is either a Hino or Mitsubishi...
