We stayed here overnight on a road-trip from Osaka to Aizuwakamatsu. The house happens to be right next to the "Sea of Japan" railway line extending the full west coast of Kansai and Tohoku. The video contains a parade of EF510 locomotives on north-bound freight duties. All video taken from the bedroom window of the house that you can also rent!: maps.app.goo.gl/BD2gQ1oXoYcReU16A Note that the ...

On a miserable morning during Golden Week, the Shinkansen don't wait for anybody.

The Limited Express Kuroshio is seen here stopping at the new underground Osaka station platform. Its next destination is Shin-Osaka.

This is the newly-constructed platform which might have been called Ume-Kita. The plan was re-hashed and a large walkway was constructed to join these platforms internally to Osaka Station. Here we see a Rail-Set train from Ajikawaguchi passing through on its way to Kyoto.

How to unpack this? Lots of junk bought in Japan and I'm only just testing it now. This is Fu-Music Player (www.vector.co.jp/soft/dos/art/se095965.html) on my newly-acquired PC-9801NS/A running MIDI over RS-232 to a Roland SC-55 MkII. I happened to purchase the Serial-MIDI adapter on a trip to Japan a LONG time before and have only just put it to good use. Please enjoy! Portgas D. Ace did! (Blo...

Arduino-controlled Z-Scale layout in a perspex case. Fits in the coffee table! Currently track plan is temporary... there's more track on the way to make a more interesting layout. Controller code is also under testing. You'll see my brute-force just-increase-the-throttle doesn't really work!

I've just re-recorded the previous video over a different capture system. This time it was VGA to VGA Upscaler to VGA2HDMI to HDMI2USB. Crazy!

Here's a video capture of the VGA output of my PIII 500 running a COVOX Voice Master Key ISA Card as a COVOX Speech Thing. I really couldn't believe the audio quality that 10 resistors were able to produce! Sure, it's mono, but it's fantastic. Any interference heard is from moving the mouse!

Steamrail ran shuttles between Flinders Street and Sandringham with K153 and K190.

The Maryvale Paper Train passes northbound half-way through.

A not-so-usual day here: The long island steel train is on hiatus until July 27 thanks to a partial shutdown of the Frankston line. Instead, the Apex Gravel train made it to Westall overnight with G515, but hasn't successfully started its return path. First we have the Down cement train, with G532 and VL360 (heavier-than-usual locomotives!) running earlier-than-usual to Dandenong. After that, B...
