Product Description
-- Along with the flow of the Kuji River! The original Suigun Line paint is here!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
Following the privatization of Japanese National Railways in 1987, trains painted in a variety of regional and line-specific liveries were introduced in an attempt to revamp the standardized image of trains.
JR East's Suigun Line, which runs between Mito and Koriyama and between Kamisugaya and Hitachi-Ota, used a variety of JNR-type diesel railcars, such as the Kiha 40 series, Kiha 58 series, and Kiha 23 series. Since the late 1980s, however, these have been repainted in the dynamic Suigun Line livery, featuring orange and green stripes forming an S-shape on an ivory background.
The shape of the S-shaped pattern on the side and the width of the stripe on the front varied from car to car, a delight for fans, but when the line's vehicles were replaced with the Kiha 110 series in 1992, the cars were either transferred to other Tohoku lines or scrapped, and the transferred cars were gradually repainted in other regional colors, and the Suigun Line color disappeared.
This product is a two-car set of Kiha 40 and Kiha 58 in Suigun Line livery. Although the Kiha 58 was equipped with air conditioning, it had to be coupled with a Kiha 28 to use the air conditioning, but in the winter when air conditioning was not in use, it could be seen coupled with other types of trains such as the Kiha 40 on its own.
