    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies.

    Observations of Tephra Fall Impacts from the 2011 Shinmoedake Eruption, Japan

    Earth Planets Space, 65, 677–698, 2013 Observations of tephra fall impacts from the 2011 Shinmoedake eruption, Japan Christina Magill1, Thomas Wilson2, and Tetsuya Okada1 1Risk Frontiers, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia 2Department of Geological Sciences, Centre for Risk, Resilience and Renewal, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand (Received November 7, 2012; Revised May 16, 2013; Accepted May 19, 2013; Online published July 8, 2013) The 2011 eruption of Shinmoedake, Japan, deposited tephra across Miyazaki prefecture impacting both urban and rural environments. We provide an overview of the impacts, management and recovery of a modern city, infrastructure networks and a diverse agricultural region following this moderate sized explosive eruption, focusing on four key sectors. Cleanup of tephra was time consuming, physically demanding and costly for residents, businesses and municipal authorities. The agricultural sector sustained large initial impacts with smothering, loading and abrasion of crops, soils and greenhouses. However, extreme concerns at the time of the eruption were not realised, with farming operations experiencing limited long-term effects. There were few disruptions to electrical networks due to resilient insulator design, a successful cleaning program, relatively coarse tephra and dry conditions. Cancellations and delays occurred on three rail lines resulting primarily from mechanical failure of track switches and loss of electrical contact between train wheels and tracks. Both residents and organisations exhibited high levels of adaptive capacity in response to the event and utilised regional and national networks to obtain information on past events and recovery strategies. The combination of relatively short eruption duration, well resourced and coordinated organisations and resilient infrastructure networks contributed to a strong recovery.

Use of the data is free of charge, but compliance with the terms and conditions is required. Please refer to the Open Sound Data website for more information. Old Kokuden Type nose suspension drive Provided by MB3110A@zhengdao_X The sound of a suspended motor is something that we cannot hear around us anymore. The ESU sound decoder fulfilled my wish that the nostalgic sound of the suspension motor would remain in service forever. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series, and various operation sounds such as old auxiliary equipment are added to make it highly versatile. The sound source is based on the running sound of Tobu 3050 series. This data can be used with the LokSound V4 series and LokSound 5 series, but the LokSound V4 rescue version has some limitations in sound quality and functions.

I wanted to preserve the sound of the original engine in a model, so I combined the sound recorded by MB3110A with my own sound. I would be happy if you could run it with the diesel sound.
