Product Description

[About the actual car]
The second-class car, Saro 43100, was manufactured at the same time as Deha 43200 due to plans to electrify the Tokaido Main Line between Tokyo and Kozu, but when the plan was cancelled it was converted into a second-class car on the Keihin Line.
In a designation change in 1928, the cars were renumbered to SaRo 18, and all cars were in service on the Keihin Line. However, with the abolition of second-class cars in 1938, they were downgraded while retaining their two-door configuration, and between 1939 and 1940, they were converted to steel bodies and remodeled to KuHa 65 (later KuHa 16 400 series).

[About the model]
The roof, underfloor equipment, ventilators, etc. were printed using a 3D printer, while the sides, front, and floorboards were made using art post paper and snow matte paper.
