Today, we visited "Small World," a pay-to-play N-scale model train public layout located on the 3rd floor of the Sea Mall shopping center in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi, Japan.
This massive 46-square-meter (approx. 500 sq ft) layout features highly detailed scenery and expansive track plans perfect for running long-consist trains. In this video, we feature JR Central's Limited Express "Hida," showcasing a collaboration between the classic KiHa 85 series diesel and the latest HC85 series hybrid trains.
Enjoy the intricate details of this diorama, including a dedicated streetcar (tram) section with embedded tracks and meticulously crafted structures!
