A lot of water has flowed under the viaduct since that was made, not least the company I was at going into liquidation.🙄 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWsTrains Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) ....and now for something completely different. Synchronised swimming has nothing on this trio of departures, clearly all at same time. Love the spacing and the perfect harmony of their exit as seen here But where? Leaving which Station? which Railway?

BWsTrains Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) The Station is Umeda Terminus, Osaka and the Railway is the successful Hanku Railway Company (Wikipedia has a useful topic). Admittedly a real toughy of a question, worthy of Tom Gleeson's "Hard Quiz" final round for us in Oz. How all the various private railways mesh in with JR is remarkable to see and use to get around in Japan. My first experience of Hankyu was to hop on the Local from Kyoto to Osaka paying the princely sum of Y500 (around A$5!) back in 2016. I see it's crept up to Y564 today; hmm seems they have inflation! As to the detour, you can't have too much SPAM, or so it seems. Edited August 30 by BWsTrains 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually one is only accused of being an ignorant hater (often, but not always, "uneducated" too) if disagreeing with someone else's political POV and backing it up with rational argument. I didn't know that it had spread over into toy trains, sorry, scale railway models.* *I must take my hobby seriously, I must take my hobby seriously, I must take my hobby seriously. Bad doggie! Big. Bad. Doggie...... Seriously though, I can't understand the logic which arrives at the conclusion that you "hate" a particular manufacturer of anything, let alone a maker of harmless models. In fact the more I think about it, the more insane it seems. Nul illegitimi carborundum old chap. 4 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
