Koji Yuen's Model-railroading Hobby Room

I'm very interested classic trains of Japanese Railways in Meiji Era (1868-1912).

In this time Japan has no technology and no factories to build a steam locomotive. So most steam locomotives were imported from foreign countries, England, Scotland, America, Germany etc.

I made some sctatch building modeles of these locomotives.

Enjoy "Old good days" !!
