Product Description
Masterpiece 16 Series 1/80 16.5mm Gauge Metal Kit
[About the prototype]
The Yamaga Onsen Railway was once a local railway line that connected Ueki Station on the Kagoshima Main Line to Yamaga Onsen, a remote area.
There was a time when the company planned to operate on the Japanese National Railways and ordered new diesel railcars, but this was abandoned due to heavy rain accidents and other factors.
Instead, the company received a used bonnet bus from the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau and modified it into a single-ended diesel railcar.
Two cars, Kiha 101 and 102, were produced based on military trucks released by the occupying forces.
Among them, the Kiha 101 was a literal rail bus, using the body of a bonnet bus as it was.
Although its service life was short, lasting just over two years, it is well known for its distinctive appearance.
[Kit Overview]
Its distinctive appearance is reproduced as a one-piece body made of white metal.
The sashes are depicted sharply using separately attached etched parts.
Power is provided by MP gear and a small motor (sold separately).
Please use MP gears for trains with φ10.5 wheels, etc.
The suitable motor is Imon double-shaft motor 1215D12-10-15.
