The

other non-Japanese-speaking parts of the world. Since 1991, there have
been
several activities like exhibitions (also of railway models), a TV-show
(on
Naruhodo The World, Fuji TV),
many meetings in the United Kingdom, Germany, the
Netherlands,
and many guided tours to and meetings in Japan.
Our membership is now more than 200 people in over 10 countries

Winter in Aizu Wakamatsu
Aizu Wakamatsu is one of those places where you can see a variety of different coloured mostly DMU trains. Although that is less so nowadays, it is still a good spot to see a variety of rolling stock, and the snow adds to the atmosphere.
