Trying to fit 0402 LEDs into Kato 23-214 traffic lights. It works, but I am just going to install one LED (either green or red) in each signal.

Working on the Shin-Yukari station

This weekend, I build a styrene bracket to better secure the location of the pillars below the Shin-Yukari station.
Picture
I covered the surface between the pillars with Kato 24-018 sand colour scenery paper. It is very nice and easy to use. Just cut it to size and peel off the back to reveal the adhesive layer. No glue required! It is quite thick and flexible.
​One pack contains five sheets of (slightly) different colour.
Finally, I built a concrete base for the control tower at the west end of the elevated station.

I just upgraded to DCC my brand new Kato 10-1174 Shinkansen Series N700A “Nozomi” (Basic 4-Car Set). It is compatible with the Kato 29-351 EM13 (for motor control), Kato 29-352 FL12 (two units required, for the headlights) and Kato 29-353 FR11 (four units required, for the interior lighting). Very easy to upgrade.
