Product Description
──Watch out ahead! Caution! 121 series trains with red stripes
[Actual vehicle introduction]
With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways approaching in 1987, many new types of rolling stock were introduced to Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido, which had weaker management bases.
The 121 series was one of the models manufactured at this time, and was the first JNR-type electric train in Shikoku to be introduced when the Takamatsu area was electrified.
The car body is made of stainless steel similar to the 205 series and 211 series, and the front is similar to the 207 series 900 series, with a black face around the windows that was popular at the time and a combination of through doors, and the sides are similar to the 211 series, with three doors on each side, but there are no tapered bottoms or side direction signs, and the passenger windows are large, single-step rising windows that allow in light.
The interior of the car has semi-cross seats, and the red mohair on the seats and ivory decora on the walls create a bright atmosphere.
The undercarriage is 1M controlled based on the design of the 105 series, and uses parts from scrapped trains and spare parts.
Each train consists of two cars, and can be operated individually or in two coupled four-car formations.
Initially, the line was painted with a pink stripe, but after the division and privatization, this was replaced with a sky blue stripe.
Subsequently, the pantograph was changed to one suitable for small-section tunnels, the underfloor was painted gray, passenger door opening and closing switches were installed, and work was carried out to make the trains one-man operated, and from 2016 all cars were converted to the 7200 series.
For a short period in 1993, red warning colors were applied to the front of the vehicles as a measure to prevent railroad crossing accidents.
This was tested on the 121 series A9 formation as well as one or two cars of each type, including Kiha 58/65, Kiha 40, Kiha 54, and 1000 series, and all of them have been restored to their original light blue stripes.

A1951 121 Series Blue Stripe/Black Underfloor (shipped November 2016) variation
This set recreates the transitional appearance of the 121 series in the early 1990s, after the light blue stripe, black underfloor, and pantograph changes.
The Kumoha 121-9 + Kuha 120-9 (A9 formation) is the first N gauge production of a train with a red front warning color. The power source is set to Kumoha 121-9, and these two cars can run independently.
Kumoha 121-1 + Kuha 120-1 (A1 formation) has a typical light blue front stripe. Kumoha 121-1 is a trailer car. Newly created three-dimensionally carved underfloor parts for trailers.
Vehicle numbers, which vary in position depending on the vehicle, are printed in accordance with the actual vehicle.
The silver paint on the body reproduces the image of the actual vehicle with three colors: dull silver (around the windows), bright silver (on the fascia and waist panel), and the trim around the doors.
Enjoy it together with the upcoming A0018 213 series, A1655 and A1656 Kuro 212.
