Product Description
- The 28th volume in the series will be a combined edition of volumes 45 and 46 (published in 2003) by Yasuo Satake and Akira Satake (brothers) [Nicknames of National Railway Trains in the 1950s (Volumes 1 and 2)].
- Train nicknames, also known as headmarks and tailmarks, began in 1929 (Showa 4) when, following the example of foreign railways, trains held a public competition to make nicknames for trains more familiar to the general public.
- Since then, trains with various nicknames have appeared, and the number of nickname versions has increased accordingly.
- This book is a compilation of a collection of photos of nickname editions by the Satake brothers, who began pursuing nickname editions shortly after the war.
- This is a valuable resource for the locomotives and express trains that were mainly used in the 1950s and 1960s, and is a work that shows the passion of the Satake brothers.
