may I send you a kidney so you can mail me one of those magazines in return?

Interesting I might have to go grab that "Tokaido Honsen" one I assume it covers the tokyo downtown trains?
I don't think you will see much of the central city trains in this one. It is dedicated to the Main line (honsen) which runs down from Tokyo along the coast. Lots of good scenery though.
Looks like you're home now? Got lots of catching up to do,eh all the photos, mail and everything else.
