More Goofing Off in Yokohama

"A few interesting items observed on a recent open day..."

A Catatonk Shay makes a circuit. I hear they rotate the other way in the Southern Hemisphere.

A BLW "Cricket" takes a few thou off the aluminum lower track.

This tiny HO steamer ran well and ran long. The tiny vertically mounted oscillator is geared down to the rear axle, and a serrated 1/8" copper steam line is the burner bar that is slung under the boiler. It ground around the track with dignity and really put on a show.

This is reportedly based on a prototype that worked the early inter-London passenger trains. This little guy is smooth.

Another locomotive from the same stable as above.

This is a reworked Aster Schools and a rake of scratchbuilt wood and cardstock coaches.
