Rail Yard : Norihisa Matsumoto Painted 1:150 size
Norihisa Matsumoto Completed diorama N gauge display stand N (1:150) size People approx. 1 cm tall
Scale N gauge (9 mm gauge)
Size 900 mm (width) x 300 mm (depth) x 215 mm (maximum height) (manufactured based on KATO module panel 40:900)
Includes cardboard box for storage (W 950 mm x D 360 mm x H 320 mm)
No display cover.
The vehicles used in the photographs are all used for illustrative purposes and are not included in the product.
Figures of railway workers etc. have already been placed.
Lighting has been incorporated into the inspection depot, the wooden filling station, the two office buildings, the bicycle yard, the electricity substation, two streetlights and the lighting tower. The inspection depot - substation are made by 'GeoColle', the streetlights by 'Wakiyaku Kuro-chan' and the lighting tower by 'TOMIX'.
The power supply for lighting comes with 3 power supply units (2 x 3 AA batteries used included) from the Diocolle(Diorama Collection) electric decoration kit for Diocolle(Diorama Collection) and Waki-Kuro-chan. A protection circuit is also built into the wiring of the Wakiyaku Kuro-chan.
As the TOMIX lighting towers are 12 V DC (direct current), they are fitted with connectors (for running) that can be connected to TOMIX and KATO power packs. For lighting, please prepare a TOMIX or KATO power pack. The brightness can also be adjusted using the volume on the power pack.
[EXCERPT]
The points (turnouts) on the tracks are manually converted, but the movement is reluctant. If they do not move when the lever is operated, move the tongue rail directly.
The roof of the train is a reduced scale version of the original (KATO train depot), but due to some inadequate workmanship, part of the roof (red part) has cracks. Both have been repaired to the extent that they cannot be seen in the photographs.
Note: Due to the handmade nature of the work, details may vary.

This is a scenic model based on the motif of a vehicle depot, built for N-gauge vehicle displays. Five points (turnouts) are incorporated into the maximum of six lines of track, creating a complex wiring that is typical of a rail depot. The model also incorporates various elements of a rail yard, such as an inspection shed, a wash line and a detention line with an inspection platform, and these details are also a highlight of the model. The overhead line poles are also lined up and can be enjoyed as a base for trains and electric locomotives.
The track has margins at both ends in accordance with KATO straight line module board standards, but for display purposes an extension track has been added up to the end face of the platform frame (the extension track can also be removed as it is connected using joiners).
This diorama was introduced in the book 'Enjoying Model Railway N-Gauge 2016' (Seibido Publishing). Some modifications have been made after the article was written, such as the incorporation of lighting.
