Product Description

-- Double-door doors for suburban transport! The 413 series, the trump card for rush hour on the Hokuriku Main Line, is here!

- The 413 series is an AC/DC dual-mode commuter train that was introduced in 1986 during the Japan National Railways era.
- In the 1980s, the number of passengers at JNR began to increase in regional urban areas by shortening train configurations and running trains more frequently.
- However, in conventional express trains, the interior deck and single-leaf doors for boarding and alighting are often limited to just two on each end of the car, making it difficult to facilitate smooth boarding and alighting during rush hour.
- Therefore, the number of commuter trains was increased by reusing the equipment of express trains and updating them to new cars with no deck and double-door doors.
- These cars were introduced all over Japan, but those destined for the Hokuriku region were classified as 413 series and were made to be dual-mode, just like the express trains they were converted from.
- After the privatization of the Japanese National Railways, it was taken over by JR West and was mainly used on the Hokuriku Main Line.
- This time, we will be commercializing both the train's new paint scheme with blue stripes that was handed over to JR West, as well as its original red paint scheme from when it was introduced.

- By using a separately sold power unit and N gauge running parts, it can be run as an N gauge model train.
- We recommend the following power unit: TM-14 (20m class A2), running parts set: TT-03R, pantograph: PS101CN (PS16HS) <0232>.
*Display stand is not included.

- 1/150 scale N gauge size painted and assembled open package
- Recommended age: 15 years and above

- Licensed for commercialization by JR West Japan
