[Product Highlights & Recommended Points]
●Recreates the Original Railway with Its Own Unique Worldview, “Nekoya Line”
This product is part of a series inspired by the fictional local railway “Nekoya Line.” While it is not a real railway, it is designed with the concept of “a 762 mm gauge non-electrified narrow-gauge railway, reproduced in 1/80 scale with 9 mm gauge.” This allows you to express a nostalgic and unique local railway atmosphere in your diorama.
●Compact and Easy-to-Display 1/80 Scale (HO Narrow)
The HO narrow gauge standard (1/80 scale, 9 mm gauge) makes it easy to handle, similar to standard N-gauge tracks. It is perfect for those who want to enjoy railway models without building a full-scale layout, or for those who want to fit the model into a small diorama.
●Practical 2-Car Set with Diesel Locomotive + Passenger Car
The set includes a diesel locomotive (DB1) and a passenger car (HohaFu11), offering a well-balanced combination. It is ideal for beginners who want to enjoy a “train-like formation” from the start.
●Unified Design with “New Paint” Scheme
Both the locomotive and passenger car feature a new paint scheme. Even when combined with other vehicles in the series (such as older paint versions), the unified color scheme ensures a visually cohesive layout.
●Compatible with Optional Parts for Motorization
By installing a separately sold motor unit (e.g., TM-TR02) into the DB1 locomotive, you can motorize the train, allowing not only static display but also layout operation. The passenger car also supports trailer conversion parts (TT-03R), providing versatility for both display and running models.
●Excellent Compatibility with Dioramas and Scenic Models
With the “narrow gauge,” “local line,” and “nostalgic era” setting, this model pairs beautifully with rural stations, mountain routes, or abandoned railway-style dioramas. Combining it with scenic kits, small props, and figures adds depth to the world. There are many related kits, enabling diverse layout creation.
●Completed Model Suitable for Beginners and Collectors
As a fully assembled model, it is easy to start without worrying about assembly, making it accessible to those who are not into plastic model work. At the same time, its scale, paint quality, and detailed setting make it highly satisfying for collectors.
[Recommended For]
- This railway collection set is particularly suited for people who want to:
- Enjoy railway models in small spaces with ease
- Create nostalgic countryside or local railway-style dioramas
- Start as a beginner but plan to motorize or expand layouts in the future

- Begin collecting with a ready-to-display model without extra effort
