It seems there is always lots of construction going on in Tokyo and the N Scale Musashi-Koyama modules are no different. I needed some fencing that looked like things I had seen in Japan on construction sites.
I had seen this product on ebay but was not sure how good it was. After checking it out first hand at a hobby shop in Akihabara during our recent trip, I picked up a package. I don't remember exactly how much it was but I think is was in the area of 500 - 600 yen. There was a choice of several colors and I went with the orange which is Casco part number YP-301.
This is what the package of fence looks like. There are actually 2 sheets with 6 sections of fence each in the package. Each section is 72 scale feet long so you get a total of 864 scale feet.
The sheets are about .010 thick and are printed on one side. Because the material is clear the fence part shows on both sides but the writing only on the printed side.
Here is some of the fence sections after I used a ruler and sharp razor blade to cut them apart. I found it helpful to leave the clear ends on in case I needed to splice the sections together. Even after being cut into the strips the material seems rather sturdy.
So here's some of this fencing installed on part of the module. I used the Tap Plastics product E6000 that I mentioned in the May 2012 post
My new favorite adhesive to attach the material to the module.
I found this fencing product to be a quick and easy way to put up construction fencing around the job sites on the module.
