Talk About Loving Model Railroad Layouts...

How much do you love model trains….a little.…a lot....too much….more than life itself?

If you said “too much” then I’ve got the place for you. If you said “more than life itself,” you need some help.

There is a hotel in Tokyo which will cater to your dreams (if your dream involves sleeping with toy trains). I’m not talking about sticking them under your pillow or crawling under the covers with them (that would be weird). I’m talking about sleeping with model railroad layouts set up in your room.

The Washington Hotel located in the Akihabara area of Tokyo has designated one of their rooms as a “railway room.” It contains a bed of course but the rest of the room looks like it’s overwhelmed by the model train display.

Looking at the picture I noticed two things:

1) They never show you what the rest of the room looks like.

2) The train set is larger than your bed. But who needs a bed anyway you’ve got a train?

This room goes for $265 per night and is booked solid for at least a month. I can see why though, that really is one awesome layout.

I understand that for an additional $200 per night they’ll provide you with a scale replica Godzilla so you can destroy everything in sight. J

If you’re not planning to go to Tokyo soon and want your own model train display, then visit trains O scale to learn the basics of how to build your very own layout.
