Yurakucho, one stop south of Tokyo Station
If you go to Tokyo station it's hard to tell just how busy it is, but if you go one stop south to Yurakucho, 8 tracks come together and 4 of them stop in the station. The is the Yamanote line that runs a circle around Tokyo, the Keihin Tohoku local lines, these both stop at Yurakucho and then the express lines to Kawasaki and Yokohama, and finally a little above the others the south bound Shinkansen bullet train to Osaka.
In fifteen minutes on the station I saw over 20 trains pass through, it's hard to believe how they run so many trains and they are all on time.

      Richard, they appear at 1:08 although you are panning to follow the train and then some others at 1:24. I have just subscribed to your channel after following your thread on WT. I’ve always had a fascination with American trains something my departed Dad and elder brother enjoyed and modelled, and I have resurrected some of the old HO Athearn stock. But seeing the real thing is fascinating, I did the coast to coast, New York to San Francisco a few years ago.

    Hi, I've watched your interesting videos. Very informative that you do the work and convert your machines to Proto48. I do something similar, keeping the wrong gauge. But I put the bogie covers closer to the wheel sets so that the brake blocks are in line with the wheels. The bogies are narrower and look more exemplary under the locomotive body. I have one more question, I see so many GP60s in your video. Is there any chance that you can sell me one of these locomotives? I would be very happy to hear your feedback. Best regards from Germany.
