──Going through the Ohata switchbacks! Kiha31 in Kumamoto
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- Kiha 31 is a general-purpose diesel train for warm regions that was introduced in 1986.
- In order to improve driving performance by reducing the weight of the car body, a lightweight stainless steel body was adopted, and the car body length was shortened to 17m class.
- Anticipating tourist demand, the side windows were raised one step, the seats were cross seats adapted from those of the 0 series Shinkansen, and air conditioning was installed from the beginning.
- Bus parts such as the door engine and air conditioner, as well as bogies, transmissions, and brake equipment, are made from scrapped vehicles to reduce costs, and can also be connected to other Japanese National Railways diesel trains.
