──The 205 series, which ran through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa periods, will appear as Z Shorty's first commuter train.
- The 205 series is a commuter train developed at the end of the Japanese National Railways era. The Keyo 21 formation that became the model for the product was a formation transferred from the Chuo/Sobu Local Line, and was characterized by the combination of the original face and large door windows, the only one of the 205 series wearing the line colors of the Keiyo Line.
[What is 205 series]
- The 205 series is a commuter train that appeared in 1985 (Showa 60) at the end of the JNR era.
- In addition to metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, transferred vehicles could also be seen in rural areas.
- The product is modeled after the Keyo 21 formation that belonged to the Keiyo Vehicle Center.
- Speaking of the 205 series on the Keiyo Line, there is a strong image of the so-called [fairy tale face], but because they were transferred from other wards, there were three formations that had the original face, of which the Keiyo 21 formation was the only late car formation. .
- The actual vehicle was then modified to VVVF and used for the Musashino Line, and then transferred to Indonesia.
- The product reproduces the appearance with the skirt attached to match the actual vehicle at the time.
