Transportation Museum
Last Sunday we headed to the Transportation Museum, located between Ochanomizu and Akihabara, to visit it before it gets closed down in mid-May for a planned move to Saitama. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the old Mansaibashi station the museum is built on, as tours were already booked off for the day. Nevertheless it was fun to look at the old trains shown in the museum. We also ran around past closing time to finish collecting all the stamps scattered throughout the museum so that we could get free clear files.
The most fun was maybe that I got to drive a simulator of the Keihin-Tōhoku line, made of a real conductor's wagon. I really sucked at sync'ing my breaks with the station though, and went way passed it, causing "ahhhhh!"'s from the few daring passengers. :)
The Transportation Museum will close on May 14, 2006 and reopen in Saitama city on October 14, 2007.

Aww I love museums. I remember my brother once took me to the local museum that had a dinosaur exhibition last year and I hadn't been there for god knows how long. We looked like total dorks but it was amusing. Not to mention he paid :D

Cool photos! Everytime I've walked past the place so many times but never actually went it.

I'm glad I can be a source for you.
I just reread my above comment which is filled with grammar mistakes. Sorry, Brainfart.
