Model Railroad Hobby 1969 August/September Issue Set of 2 Books Kiso Forestry Railway, Odakyu De-De C11 From the mecca of narrow gauge to rare formations of major private railways! A valuable set recording model railroads and actual trains from the golden age of TMS This is a set of two issues of "Model Railroad Hobby (TMS)", known as the "bible" of model railroad construction, from August and September 1969. TMS during this period was the golden age, where the deepening of model-making techniques and a deep pursuit of the real thing were fused, and it is an extremely important resource for understanding the origins of modern railroad hobbies. The biggest attraction is the two-issue series "Going to the Kiso Forestry Railway" report. The article, which recorded in detail the Ohtaki Main Line and the Dakugawa Branch Line (before its abolition), not just before its abolition, is a masterpiece. The daily life of "Kisoshin" at the time conveys the atmosphere of more than 50 years ago, which cannot be obtained by exploring the abandoned lines today. For narrow gauge and forestry railway enthusiasts, its rarity as primary source material is immeasurable. In addition, niche operations of major private railways are also included. The report on the "Gravel Train Pulled by De-De" by Odakyu Electric Railway ED1010 and open freight cars in the September issue revives the lost freight transport of major private railways. In addition, the model-making techniques and vehicle construction records of famous cars such as the Sanyo 2000 series, Keihan 2000 series, and JNR C11 and C12, which were new at the time, show the enthusiasm of the modelers at the time. These two books contain information that will appeal to all modelers, including vehicle construction, layout techniques, explanations of N-gauge structures, and articles that delve into the details of steam locomotives. It is a historically valuable set that allows you to enjoy the trends of the model railroad world at the time and the lost Japanese railway scenery at the same time. 1969 Kigei Publishing B5 size set of 2 books #Other railway books are here #Other "Light Railway Narrow Gauge Dedicated Line" is here #Model Railroad Hobby #TMS #Kiso Forestry Railway #Narrow Gauge #Odakyu Electric Railway #ED1010 #De-De #Gravel Train #C11 #C12 #Sanyo 2000 series #Keihan 2000 series #Model making #Layout #Locomotive construction record #Dakugawa Branch Line #Ohtaki Main Line #1969 #Valuable materials #TMS golden age
