Product Description
──The passionate red JR mark is a nice touch! The second reproduction 103 series!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
The 103 series 1500 series was newly manufactured for the electrification of the Chikuhi Line and Karatsu Line that opened in 1982, and for direct service with the Fukuoka City Subway that began the following year.
The running equipment is designed in accordance with the 103 series 1000 series for subway use, but the body structure and customer service facilities are closer to the 201 series and 105 series, making it a unique model among the 103 series.
When it first appeared, it was painted light blue with ivory stripes.
Skirts were installed from the late 1980s onwards, and from the mid-1990s the paint scheme was changed to metallic grey with red and yellow accents.
In addition, in consideration of operational efficiency at terminal sections, modifications were made to some trains from 1989 to install a driver's cab in the intermediate car, allowing them to be divided from fixed 6-car formations into 3+3 cars.
From around 2003, the body paint was changed again to match that of the 303 series, and various modifications were made in response to changes in the law, such as installing toilets in the lead cars, removing ventilators, and replacing air conditioners.
More than 40 years have passed since the series first appeared, and while the series is being retired as successor models such as the 305 series are added to the fleet, a three-car train (E12 train) was repainted in the original sky blue with ivory stripes of the JNR colors that it was originally painted in in August 2023, which became a hot topic.
Furthermore, in June 2025, the paint job of one three-car train (E17) was changed to the JNR color scheme, and this train now has the red JR mark on the side of each car, mimicking the appearance of the train immediately after the privatization of the JNR.
