Impressive Much.

While model trains are not new to the Philippines, I have long tried to push the idea of modelling the local railway scene, more so that the more commonly modelled prototype systems from elsewhere around the world.

In more recent times, there has been a move towards modelling the Philippine prototype, and some of the most amazing examples have been built by my friend Adrian Saldana.

Below is his work building a scale model of the new INKA locomotives and rollingstock.

The result is truly mind blowing.

While the Philippine prototype modelling hobby still has a long way to go, we have many ideas that may hopefully see fruition in the future.
If your interested in modelling Philippine transportation, and the areas it runs through, feel free to join us.

Great modelling work mate, you are a Philippine modelling inspiration.

I sadly never got to meet Edwin, though we talked numerous times online.
 He had many interests, but his mountain climbing one seemed to be his greatest passion. None impressed me more than his visit to the top of the Mayon Volcano and the photo he sent me of him being there.
You will be missed sir.
