Product Description
- 1/80 scale, 16.5mm gauge model railway
- Plastic finished product
[About the actual car]
- The Tobu 1720 series train is a Tobu Railway express train that was introduced in 1960.
- Tobu put all its efforts into developing this train in order to compete with the Japanese National Railways in the prewar battle to attract visitors to Nikko, and in response to the electrification of the Japanese National Railways' Nikko Line and the accompanying introduction of new rolling stock.
- The exterior was based on the bonnet-shaped design of the JNR 151 series, its arch rival, with a Tobu-style interpretation, and the interior was equipped with luxurious features such as a salon room equipped with a jukebox and automatic doors, a first for a Japanese railway car.
- In terms of performance, it achieved commercial operation at a speed of 110 km/h, covering the journey between Asakusa and Nikko in 106 minutes.
- This time, Endo will manufacture and release the Tobu 1720 series DRC as an affordable 1/80 scale plastic finished product.
- Two versions are planned for production: the original version and a later version with changes to the carriage and salon room.
- Be sure to purchase this to add to your collection of private railway express trains that colored the Showa era's period of high economic growth, along with Odakyu's Romancecar.
