Outline

Total length of railway runs up to 200 metres with 11 siding yards. Over 100 points are installed in the layout. All points can be operated by remote control at two central operation boards. So much amount of labor was required for the wiring work. All trains up to 400 can be traveled at any time since all of them are set on the rail.
線路の総延長はおよそ200mに達する.ポイント数も100の大台になった.ポイントはすべて中央操作盤によって遠隔操作可能.道床の下に潜り込んでのその配線には大変な労苦を費やした.車両を待機させる引き込みヤードは11ヶ所あり,全車両をレール上に乗せていつでも走行出来る状態にある.

Revised point

Simple automatic train control system(Komai Railway Automatic Train Control) were installed to avoid derailment due to the switch operation error. When reed relays set between railway sleepers detect the neodymium magnet glued under a train, the switches in front change to right direction along with the signal change in front from red to green. Due to the improvement derailment and circuit accident were much decreased.

Central operation board of my own making is shown. Each point is changed when corresponding point of contact is turned on electricity.Wiring is so much complicated. Komai Railway equips two boards.

Underground sidetrack consists of 8 lines, and long formation trains can wait. The slope from ground to underground lines is 60 ‰. Double locomotive formation is needed to pull the long trains.
