Product Description

Masterpiece N Series N Gauge Metal Kit

We have now released an N gauge version of the train car that was previously produced in 16mm scale and received great reviews.

[About the prototype]
The Yamaga Onsen Railway was once a local railway that connected Ueki Station on the Kagoshima Main Line to Yamaga Onsen, a secluded hot spring resort.
There was a time when plans were made to extend the line to the Japanese National Railways, and new diesel railcars were ordered, but these plans were abandoned due to accidents caused by heavy rain.
Instead, they acquired used bonnet buses from the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau and modified them to create single-ended railcars.
Based on military trucks released by the occupying forces, two train cars, Kiha 101 and Kiha 102, were manufactured.
In particular, the Kiha 101 was a railbus that literally reused the body of a bonnet bus.
Although its service life was short, lasting just over two years, it was a famous vehicle due to its distinctive appearance.

In this project, we will recreate this extremely small vehicle in N gauge.
The following power units are compatible, allowing for motorization.

Power unit TU-TMC100

[Kit Overview]
Its distinctive appearance will be reproduced as a single piece of white metal body.
The window frames and other window frames are sharply represented by separately attached etched parts.
