Product Description
[Official manufacturer introduction video]
──The 401 series, which was active in the Kanto region, is cream-colored with a blue stripe in preparation for the Tsukuba Expo held in 1985!
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The Joban Line, which has a geomagnetic observatory along its route, has an AC electrified section relatively close to the starting point that does not affect the observations. Therefore, the 401 series AC/DC commuter train was developed in 1960 to operate on this section.
- The body shape, with three double-doors on each side and semi-cross seat structure, became the basis for subsequent JNR commuter trains.
- The initial front shape was a low cab with a large front window, similar to that of the 153 series, but from a later stage the train adopted a high cab structure to prevent level crossing accidents, similar to the 153 series, and the vertical dimension of the front window was shortened.
- The Moha 400 series, equipped with a pantograph, had the distinctive characteristics of an AC/DC electric train, with its equipment on the roof and main transformer under the floor.
- The body paint of these trains was originally rose pink, known as Aka-13, and they were affectionately known as "red trains." However, in preparation for the 1985 Tsukuba Expo, this was gradually changed to a cream color with blue stripes from 1983 onwards, and they were used alongside the more powerful 403 and 415 series trains in the same series.
[point]
- The front of the through door has a thin hood seat, and the head and tail light rims are made as separate parts, allowing for blue stripe printing with minimal bleeding.
- In addition, the included separate parts allow you to choose between a conical or rectangular voltage detector antenna base and a small or large crossing board.
- The Tokiwa Radio antenna piping is molded into the roof, and the antenna itself is pre-installed and inserted from the back.
- The area around the pantograph of the Moha 400 series is reproduced with a wider low roof area than the early model, and the running board is in a straight line, with the relative positions of the AC and DC lightning arresters different from later models.
- The underfloor sections have also been newly created, and the main transformer of the Moha 400 series and the crusher-type waste treatment device of the Kuha series have also been reproduced, and the cutout shape of the skirt has also been newly created for the 401 series.
