A father & son collection

Yes, I wrote "father & son collection". From the moment Yoshi showed interest in his first shinkansen toy (Thanks Uncle Henry for the first train), Nori is the biggest supporter (& supplier). Nori had those similar trains when he was little, sure these bring back lots of childhood memories. In addition to those we found at Japanese garage sale here, we brought back more than 8 of those trains from the Asia trip last summer (some were gifts). We have saved a lot for x'mas and later. Afterall, how many can the track holds.

Yoshi is really into the shinkansen trains, the real trains, not the cartoon. He would read the train encyopedia again and again (Uncle Henry, your money well spent); he would watch those shinkansen videos again & again (I always wonder what's so fun watching the trains zoom here and there on TV); he would lay on the floor to get a better up close view of the trains running around the track; he would panic if Kiharu gets 2 feet within the station radius......

Well, if u ever need to know the model names of each Japanese shinkansen/trains, just ask Dr. Yoshi. And if u ever said the wrong name, be prepared, he will correct you right away.
