Product Description
──[Thankful for 85 years of history] Farewell to the Enpuku Line and Kyotanba Office: Set of two West Japan JR buses now available!
[Product Guide]
- The Sonofuku Line, operated by West Japan JR Bus, was opened in 1939, running from Sonofuku to Hiyama to Fukuchiyama. At the same time, the Sasayama Jidosha District Hiyama Branch (now the Kyotanba Office) was established, marking its 85th anniversary this year.
- There used to be a bus line centered around Hiyama, connecting Shin-Suchi, Shin-Michiguchi, Shimoyama, etc., but these were gradually abolished, with the last remaining line being the Sonofuku Line, 51.8km from Sonobe to Fukuchiyama. However, on March 31st of this year, it sadly came to an end after a long 85-year history of operating across the government line, JNR, and JR.
- The product comes in a set of two vehicles: a 5th generation Isuzu Erga equipped with a bus mask, and a 3rd generation Isuzu Erga Mio.
- It can be recreated with the included stickers, and in addition to the bus mask, many other memorable items such as the Hiyama Station sign will also be included. Please look forward to it.
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The Sonofuku Line operated by West Japan JR Bus was opened in 1939, with the entire line between Sonobe, Hiyama and Fukuchiyama. At the same time, the Hiyama Branch of the Sasayama Motor Vehicle District was established, which later became the Hiyama Branch of the Fukuchiyama Motor Vehicle Office, and then the current name of the Kyotanba Office. It will be 85 years old in 2024. In the past, there were motor vehicle lines in Hiyama, Tanba Ohara, Tanba Sannomiya, etc. However, with the progress of motorization and other trends, it was gradually abolished, and the 51.8 km Sonofuku Line from Sonobe to Fukuchiyama remained until the end, but on March 31, 2024, it was regretfully closed down after a long history of 85 years of operation across the Ministry of Railways, National Railways, and JR. The product is based on two prototypes: the 5th generation Isuzu Erga equipped with a bus mask, and the 3rd generation Isuzu Erga Mio.
