About 3 months ago, I knew of "mini railways
" in the forest
in Hamamatsu city.
The every first Sunday per a month, fans of railways gather
and they take kids to ride the mini railways
.
We go there every time KAYOTTE IMASU since we knew that
.
'Cause the trains surprisingly resemble real one
!
There is the open place like that
when we get out from a footpath in the forest
.
I was surprised (ODOROKI MASHITA)
at the first time when I found out there.
The rails are small, but even these are small, these completely resemble the real rails.(HONMONO TO SOKKURI)
.
A few rails such as the outer tracks and the inner tracks intersect in some places
.
For example, the trains like this run
.
It moves by the battery.
When we ride the back of the seat, we can feel the sound and vibration
as if we get on the real train
.
A man is running the train.(OJISAN GA UNTENCHU
).
This train may be his.
This is the most popular one, steam locomotive.
It put out the steam, and let's go!(SHUPPATSU SHINKOU
)!
The sound and smell are very real.
The design is also cool.KAKKOII.
The real point is not only the design, in fact, it runs by the power of steam.
We cannot enjoy riding until it burns many coals and it has enough pressure to run
.
Even such small steam locomotive need these preparation, so the real locomotive would burns (MOYASUNO DESUNE) great amount of coals(SEKITAN)
.
In Hamamatsu, there is a big garage for fixing the shinkansen
.
Maybe the ex-workers of railway companies also gather.
Anyway, we ride these for free
.
I think everyone proudly bring their railways and make kids fun.
We wait our time to play peacefully
and let kids ride the trains and the locomotives that they want to do.
If the railways runs like cutting the wind
, (KAZE WO KITTE HASHIRU) , there are the devices such as tonnels and iron bridges
.
The yellow train in the right side of this photo is Dr.yellow
that runs with checking the rail for shinkansen
.
The real Dr.yellow is popular (NINKI GA ARINASU) among kids.
This is the place for whistle.
Sometimes these men sound the really big whistle (KITEKI WO NARASHIMASU)
by accumulating the steam.
They are laughing, but our hearts will stop!(SHINZOU GA TOMARISOU NI NARIMASU)
!
Oh, it was very excited.OMOSHIROKATTA.
I also ride these about 3 times.
It is enjoyable
also for adults.
We will go next month, too! MATA RAIGETSU MO IKUZO
!
Very interesting. Hope to be able to visit and take a ride one day.
