Nice spot leaving Kyoto

I just would like to share some photos taken from the train just leaving Kyoto station to Kansai Airport. Close to Kyoto station there is the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum (梅小路蒸気機関車館 Umekōji Jōkikikansha-kan) and a container cargo platform next to it.

I love those Koki flat cars and all those small 12-foot containers used in Japan. I hope you like the following photos, and may be they are inspirational for any weathering work in your layouts:
