Given that for possibly quite a while all ready made T gauge trains are going to follow Japanese outline, are there any sources of information on the net and in English about the Japanese railways? PS: To forestall any questions or comments about the "ready made", I will NOT be scratch building T gauge locos and rolling stock, should I decide to build a T layout. In this scale, as in Z, they will have to come ready to run out of the box! _________________ Gary Z scale, but very curious about T - and who knows?

The links on the page however are a good place to start http://www.japan-railways.com/linkse.htm They will probably lead you to others. There are a few Japanese railways groups on Yahoo was well JRForum and Jtrains.

Gary, Eishindo do have at least one non-Japanese prototype planned that I am aware of. That being the German ICE. _________________ Darren, Stratford, Australia.

It might perhaps be more interesting to see Eishindo come out with a Japanese "Bullet Train" or similar, but I'll certainly be most interested to see what actually does get released. As I indicated in another thread, I've got plenty of time to wait and see at the moment. _________________ Gary Z scale, but very curious about T - and who knows?
