railsquid Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi, railsquid here, nominally British but have lived most of my adult life in foreign climes, first Germany and now Japan. I had a half-hearted OO layout in my childhood years, but recently discovered the delights of Japanese N-gauge and have become addicted. I've been lurking here on and off and finally registered to identify a photo someone had posted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted November 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2014 And a welcome from me too - no interest in Japanese railways at all, but my 22 year old daughter is obsessed with Japan and has a month long vist planned next July, to Tokyo, to futher her studies of the language. (She has no interest in model railways - I did try...). Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted November 28, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2014 Welcome aboard - I see you have already discovered ER's! I travelled to Japan a lot in the 70's/80's as I was in the Merchant Navy - I loved Kobe, pre-quake of course, and visited many other ports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(She has no interest in model railways - I did try...). Maybe she'll be impressed by the trains here and change her mind? If you need any suggestions for appropriate locations to purchase souvenirs for Dad, do let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for Kobe - like Yokohama it has a kind of international feel absent from other Japanese cities. I first visited there in 1997 and it had recovered pretty well even then.
