These ARE paper models, but this fine Japanese gentleman has taken them to another hobby, model Railroading in G-gauge.

Hi Chris,

Link worked to all 8 pages. This guys work is incredible! The trains run and the wheels on at least one of them are made of paper. He only uses cardstock for the floors and builds the rest out of 0.4mm photo paper. Looks like his work has the potential to bring some more folks into card modeling. Thanks for the great link!

I hope RichB and papertrain see this.
