New Year, new module.

As part of my plan to automate a point-to-point operation on part of the AsiaNrail layout, I am building a new module to be at one end.  As it is meant to be used at an end, I did not stick to the AsiaNrail metric standard and am making this module 4 feet long and 14 inches wide.

This is going to be a free lanced scene incorporating several elements that I have been wanting to model.  I'll include a few of those here.

  • A viaduct with businesses underneath
  • A low bridge over a street
  • A taxi plaza in front of a train station  
As this module is free lanced and I have quite a stash of built-up structures and unbuilt kits I will try to use as much of that as I can and may not be purchasing many new kits for this project, but we'll see how it goes.

First step is the bench work and here it is.  Still needs to be sealed with paint and of course will need to have some legs built.  This module will hence forth be known as the Higashibata module. The reasoning behind this name is that the Azatrax circuit has sensors marked east and west and this module will have the east sensors.  Higashi being east and bata meaning toward or end.
