Description

23-239 Part Set for Shinkansen Platform, includes catenary.

This set contains two catenary supports designed to span roofless side platforms with double-track between them, plus five additional catenary supports designed to clip between platform roofs. A note appears to say that two sets of these are adequate for a ten-car train. The catenary wire supports are similar to the cantilever style supplied in 23-057, with the large insulators characteristic of high-voltage AC lines. The set also includes other details such as safety fences, small signpoles, bench seats and other things. Note that while the five roof-mount elements will fit either side or island platforms with the new (tile floor) platforms, they will not fit the roofs of the older (asphalt floor) platforms. And the end sections will only fit the long ends of the side platforms (sets 23-117) and not island platforms or the short open ends supplied with the side platform set (23-121).
