I would die to put more trains around that place. Look how many figures there are a St. Peter's Basillica. It is mazing what these people have built. I would pay $25 to see that. - Peter

This is a park in Japan that is filled with amazing models of famous structures and landmarks from around the world. The models are 1/25th scale, extremely detailed, and are outdoors! The models are populated by thousands of scale figures, and no two are alike. The name of the park is Tobu World Square.

A working model of the Japanese "bullet train" runs through part of it, so it could be considered a "garden railroad". GR fans will certainly appreciate the live numerous miniature trees and shrubs used to bring the models to life.
I wish I could find out something about how these models were built -- what materials they used, etc.
