Product Description

──The dream super express go! 1000 series B formation

[Actual vehicle]
- In 1962, when the "Dream Super Express" planned to run between Tokyo and Osaka, which had been called the "Bullet Train" since before the war, was starting to take shape, the Japanese National Railways manufactured six high-speed prototype cars, numbered 1000 series, to conduct field tests and collect data on various equipment necessary for stable commercial operation at speeds exceeding 200km/h, which were unprecedented in the world.
- The two-car formation consisting of cars 1001 and 1002 is commonly known as the "A formation," and the four-car formation consisting of cars 1003 to 1006 is commonly known as the "B formation." Tests were also conducted in which the two were coupled together to form a six-car formation, and passing tests were also conducted using the two together.
- The streamlined "bulb nose" shape of the front end was largely refined through wind tunnel testing using a model, but many problems were discovered when the prototype was actually run, and subtle changes to the shape of the 1000 series can be seen compared to when it was first completed.
- What is particularly striking is that the original pantographs had a diamond-shaped bottom frame that did not cross.
- Car 1004 was designed as a prototype with a body structure that had diagonal pillars, and was characterized by its hexagonal passenger windows.
- Comparison tests of different windshield shapes were also conducted on both leading cars, providing valuable data for the design of mass-produced cars.
- In 1964, before the opening of the line, it was converted into an electric signal test car, the 922-0 series (the first Doctor Yellow), and continued to support the safe operation of its successors until its retirement in 1975.
