Product Description
[About the actual car]
- Before the war, intermediate cars on trains were trailer cars such as SaRo and SaHa, but with the appearance of long trains such as the 70 series (Suka type) and 80 series (Shonan type), intermediate motor cars became common.
- The Moha 70 series in this kit has subtle variations in the sill-headered body, including some with simplified driver's cabs and some that were transferred to the Senseki Line and equipped with push-in ventilators. The intermediate motor cars that appeared for the Chuo East Line, where the tunnel cross section is narrow, had low roofs and became a different model called the Moha 71 series, but the 300 series, which was manufactured with an all-metal body along with the Kuha 76 series, had a very different appearance, even though they were both Moha 70 series.
- When they first appeared, they were painted cream and blue and put into service on the Yokosuka Line, but the color tones were slightly different from the later [Suka color] (cream No. 1 + blue No. 15), which was to match the prewar model. The paint color varied depending on the line and use they were used on, such as cream No. 3 + green No. 1 for rapid service on the Hanwa Line, and grape color No. 2 for local service on the Tokaido Line, commonly known as [Chabozu]. Furthermore, [Niigata color] (red No. 2 + yellow No. 5) appeared when trains were transferred to other regions, and some of the trains transferred from the Kansai region were repainted directly from grape color to [Niigata color], so some trains were retired without wearing [Suka color], even though they were part of the Sky type.
- Also, when they were transferred to other regions, it was no longer uncommon to see them mixed with 80 series modified KuHa and SaHa cars. While many of them kept their "Sky Blue" color, "Niigata color" also appeared, and on the aforementioned Senseki Line, there was a rare example of three MoHa 70 cars painted in yellow-green No. 6.
