Product Description
--Reproduces the through-type 489 series that climbed the mountain pass together with the EF63!
- The 489 series was based on the 485 series and was modified to fit between Yokokawa and Karuizawa on the Shinetsu Main Line, and was introduced in 1971.
- As the number of trains increased, design changes similar to those of the 485 series were made, and from 1972, groups with KuHa 489-200 and 489-600 series cars as lead cars were manufactured.
- As per its origins, this series was used as a limited express train on the Shinetsu Main Line that passed through Usui Pass and connected Ueno with Nagano and Kanazawa, and also served alongside the 485 series on the Hokuriku Main Line limited express trains Raicho and Shirasagi.
[About the actual vehicle guide 485 series (Kuha 481-200)]
- The 485 series was introduced in 1968 as a limited express train compatible with three power sources: DC and AC 50/60Hz, based on the previously introduced 481 and 483 series. It was manufactured for a long period until 1979 and served on electrified sections nationwide as a representative limited express train of the Japanese National Railways.
- For the group manufactured from 1972 onwards, the leading car was a KuHa 481-200 series with a front through door, and the air conditioning unit was changed from the previous AU12, also known as the mushroom type, to a centralized AU71 for MoHa 484 series and a decentralized AU13 for the other cars.
- When the KuHa 481-200 series was first manufactured, it was used on express trains on the Sanyo Main Line and Tohoku Main Line. However, due to changes in transportation methods caused by the opening of Shinkansen lines in various areas and the introduction of improved 300 and 1000 series trains, many of the cars were gradually transferred to the Kansai and Kyushu regions.
