The colour of the street inserts at first had seemed a bit odd until I noticed that in Japan the rails are often paved with large stone blocks. Here are some examples.

You will need more than 24" if you decide to go with a Kato viaduct. http://www.nscaledivision.com/images/Kato%20Images/KATO%20V2%20Track%20Set.jpg

Another nice piece of modelling, this time N scale with operating overhead and a Kato viaduct. NCat - NTRAKer Under wire: NCat - NTRAKer: under wire

It can be done, but gets complicated. In a straight overhead only operation the return current goes through the rails and the rails are electrically connected as a single circuit rather than isolated as in two rail.

By all means, Chris. These are remarkable modelling scenes.

Here's another European layout web site. It's a module layout with a very large tram depot (carbarn) and lots of interesting and inspiring photos. More great modelling. (The text is in Dutch.) Mark's Modeltrambaan Layout plan: Mark's Modeltrambaan Photos: Mark's Modeltrambaan van de...

Another look at the completed track section.

Next I added the two outside pieces, followed by the two pieces in the center and finally the thin pieces between the rails.

The first step in assembling the tram track kit is to add the the support piece that goes under the track. For this straight piece, the track is Tomix 1021 140mm in length. The track snaps into the support piece. I needed to use glue to hold the piece together, but I still wanted to be able...

In the June 2007 MR , Dauphin Ltd. has an ad for HO Enoshima Electric Railway Type 20 and Type 10 cars: HO, models

While I'm at it here's another video, but this is a professionally built model of the line. (2 minutes, 14 seconds) YouTube - 江ノ電ジオラマ

From You Tube a Japanese interurban on single track street running section (27 seconds): YouTube - Enoden 300 in the Enoshima street Watch him charge past the cars! More info on the Enoden interurban line and a track map: Shonan and Enoden

Here's one source. A couple others I can think of do not have N scale in their line. Miniatronics: N Scale: Miniatronics

Lately I've been looking at Japanese traction and model traction alot. I've found a web site with numerous Japanese traction modules. N scale is the norm in Japan because of the high cost of real estate. Dedicated model rooms are rare. Manufacturers like Tomix offer plug and play wiring...
