Large Scale Central

The ultimate "garden railroad"?

I saw this over on MLS…

This is a park in Japan that is filled with amazing models of famous structures and landmarks from around the world. The models are 1/25th scale, extremely detailed, and are outdoors! The models are populated by thousands of scale figures, and no two are alike. The name of the park is Tobu World Square.

A working model of the Japanese “bullet train” runs through part of it, so it could be considered a “garden railroad”. And anyone who is into the “garden” part of the hobby will appreciate the numerous, well-groomed miniature live tress and shrubs.

I wish I could find out something about how these models were built – what materials they used, etc.

I’m sure that Zubi could tell us.

I’ll give him a call.
