My N Scale Japanese Model Railway Phase Three
5Here is my most recent video of my N Scale Japanese Model Railway Layout that I am slowly building. As you may see, more progress has been made on the trackwork as the train yard is nearly complete. The Layout is named as "Sakai" as it modelled in the Kansai Prefecture in Japan near Osaka. There is two signal box towers on the layout with one overlooking the yard near the level crossing and the other one is "disused" at the station. When I get some cork sheets, I intend to board up the windows on this signal tower to make look more authentic. There is only two trains in the sidings as I am currently changing the trains around for the "Spring" timetable, these are a Dapol Class 153 in East Midlands Trains livery and the other train is a British Steel Class 60 numbered as 60006 by Bachmann Graham Farish. I just need one more point for the yard and its complete. The two shorter sidings will host the planned depot for the locomotives that are allocated to Sakai while the longer sidings will house the mutiple units and the railcars that are longer than three cars. Other details are that there is two road plates near the level crossing as I am using these for evaluation purposes on the layout for the town and for the road vehicles to make the town more interesting. These road plates are made by Cars Workshop and they came with the Dennis Trident Bus that is in the KMB livery (this is the gold coloured bus in the video), the Bus Stop and the Traffic Lights that are shown on the road plates need to be fitted by the user. This is quite easy to do once you drill out the holes in the base, I might stick with these or try out the Kato Diotown road plates instead. All feedback and suggestions on this is most welcome! I have added a rail enthusiast at the station as well as a litter bin near the entrance of the station. The station will be a busy one when the layout has been completed so I will need to add more peds to the station platforms soon. Also I will be getting some more buildings as I want to populate the town a bit more There will be another update video to come when I get more road plates, some buildings, a point for the yard and the point crossover so that trains can change over on the mainline. But in the meantime I hope you all like the work I have done so far. For those wondering what track I am using, it is the Kato UniTrack.
