These elevated structures allow trains to operate above street traffic while providing convenient passenger access through ground-level entrances connected by stairs or escalators. KATO's viaduct station system captures this authentic urban railway architecture in N scale, allowing modelers to recreate realistic metropolitan railway scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e N Scale (1:160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Station entrance structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevated\/viaduct station layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic kit assembly required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23-230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLayout Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis viaduct station entrance is ideal for creating realistic urban railway scenes including metropolitan commuter rail systems, elevated rapid transit lines, Japanese railway stations with elevated platforms, European city center stations, and modern urban transit hubs.
