World record holder with 581 km/h: the maglev train MLX01.	This experimental Shinkansen 300X used to hold the world record at 443 km/h.	This is the world's fastest narrow gauge steam engine at 129 km/h.	A view through Shinkansen development history.
This is a motivation for the Germany railway: only 0.6 minutes average delay per train.	This is Dr. Yellow based on a Series 0 Shinkansen: it's used to inspect the tracks at full speed.	Two milestones of japanese railways: the Series 0 Shinkansen and the Kuha 381 from 1973 which was the first tilting train in Japan.	Up to the end of the 1990s the Shinkansen still had restaurant cars.
This restaurant car is a double decker with the kitchen in the lower compartment.	The restaurant car of the Series 0 Shinkansen was introduced with the extension of the service to Hakata.	A very space kitchen for these days I assume.	The Kuha 381 tilting train in full format.
The car in the middle was used to detect any obstacles reaching into the rail tracks.	A steam powered carriage.	The museum also has a model railway, for example featuring the Kiyomizu-Dera temple in Kyoto.	A section with the famous cherry blossom is also included.
Rebuild of the local railway museum and of an open air concert - I wonder if some of the builders have gotten some ideas from the MiWuLa in Hamburg.	Model reconstruction of Nagoya station.	View from the second floor into the large rolling stock exhibition.	The three record holders all together.
Four generations of Shinkansen trains: Series 300, Series 300 prototype, Series 100, and Series 0.
