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

Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line
The Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line was built as Tokyo's second subway line, and is one of only two lines in the system that uses a 3rd rail for current collection and runs on standard gauge. Its design is similar to the Ginza Line, but with longer cars and several locations where it operates on the surface. Mark Kavanagh has shared his shots from some of these locations for this months selection.
