Product Description

──Japan Oil Transportation's Taki 1000 type!

[Actual vehicle guide]
- The Taki 1000 series is a tank car that was introduced in 1993 to increase the speed of oil transport trains. It is equipped with FT21 bogies based on the FT1 bogies of the Koki 100 series, and can run at a maximum speed of 95 km/h.
- By reducing the weight of each part and adopting small diameter wheels, the load capacity has increased from 43-44t for the previous Taki 43000 to 45t.
- Production continues to this day, replacing some of the Taki 9900, 35000 and 43000 models that were used primarily during the JNR era, and in 2021 the number produced exceeded 1,000.
- In the past, it was used in parts of Hokkaido and Kansai, but due to the decline in gasoline transportation, it is now used as the main gasoline transport vehicle in the Tohoku, Kanto, and Chubu regions.
- Gasoline transport trains include high-speed freight trains made up of only this type of train, as well as some trains coupled with container freight cars.

[Have fun with tank cars!]
- Stories about regular stations
-Private freight cars are generally assigned to designated stations and are generally used on trains that depart from and arrive at these stations, however, there are cases where some are used in completely different areas.
・All of the photos were taken on a Taki 1000 series train coupled to a freight train running on the Kansai Main Line and Chuo Main Line. Yokkaichi Station and Shiohama Station are stations on the Kansai Main Line, while Hama-Goi Station is located in Chiba Prefecture.
-The regular stations for the TOMIX 1/80 Taki 1000 series can be selected using a transfer sheet.
・In addition to the three stations in the photo above, we plan to include [Negishi], [Kitasode], [Sendai Kitako], and [Motowanishi], so please enjoy choosing your favorite station name.
*Temporary regular station display is not included with the product.

- Combined with container cars
Most freight trains using the Taki 1000 series are made up of tank cars only, but some are coupled with container trains.
- Also, when it is sent out for inspection or when it is undergoing test runs after inspection, you can see it running coupled with various other freight cars.
- In the past, in the metropolitan area, these trains were coupled to supply trains that ran between Kawasaki Freight and Kumagaya, but now they are mainly coupled to freight trains between Negishi and Kawasaki Freight, and on some days you can see the combination of JOT's Taki 1000 type and container freight cars.

- Carries more than just gasoline!?
- The Taki 1000 type has a dedicated type of [gasoline], so the cargo is generally gasoline, but depending on the vehicle, there are cases where other types of fuel are loaded by setting the [temporary dedicated type].
・Although the model is not carrying any cargo, it might be interesting to imagine that these cars are transporting petroleum products while running the vehicles.
*The product does not include vehicle badges or special train type displays.
