So I thought I'd put together a little train bearing some Christmas gifts made by or inspired by Japanese devs. I also wanted to introduce some of the really cool thematic trains that they have here in Kyushu (all around Japan really, but I've used the Kyushu trains most frequently so these are closest to my heart). Japan's rail system is truly fantastic -- the legendary precision they run with and the ability to keep on schedule down to the second is no lie.

GA's range from Levels 0-5 in requirements for entry.
All train GA's end on Christmas Day, for a little extra something something in your stocking to enjoy. :)

Without further adieu, please hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Sorry to hear that -- it seems some are having issues with a few of the photos. I might try to rehost them at imgur if I can get some time to make the switcheroos.
