Product Description
──My duty in retirement is to train human resources! A training car from Shin-Shimonoseki!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
The 0 series was manufactured in 1964 to coincide with the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen.
Until the group that appeared in 1976, this group was known as the "large window cars" with large side windows, but subsequent additions shifted to the 1000 and 2000 series "small window cars", and a total of 3,216 cars had been manufactured by 1986.
At its peak, there were a total of 99 16-car Hikari trains, each incorporating a dining car, buffet car, and two green cars. However, since 1985, as the successor 100 series and 300 series were introduced, these cars have been converted into Kodama trains or scrapped, and by 1999 all 16-car trains had disappeared.
Towards the end of the JNR era, an attempt was made to operate the Kodama trains between Kokura and Hakata more frequently using shorter train formations, which was well received.
Following the privatization of the Japanese National Railways, many six-car "R formations" were formed and were used on the Sanyo Shinkansen "Kodama" and "West Hikari" trains.
After 1995, in order to streamline the inspection system, the body color was changed from ivory to the same white as the 100 series and later, slightly changing the image. In addition, improvements were made such as the installation of soundproofing panels next to the pantographs as a noise countermeasure, and the louvers on the sea-facing roof shoulders of the leading 21-type cars on the outbound side were changed from vertical to horizontal, and the trains continued to be in service alongside their younger counterparts.
In March 1997, a new four-car train was introduced for use west of Hiroshima, and in the autumn of the same year it was given the name [Q] and began service. In the autumn of 2000, the four-car 100 series [P train] was introduced, and the Q trains were gradually phased out, while the Q3 train, with some of its intermediate cars replaced, was used as a teaching material at the Shinkansen Crew Training Center.
For over eight years, its appearance near Shin-Shimonoseki Station was familiar to many fans, but in January 2009 it was towed away by a 100 series locomotive, quietly ending its role.

A four-car train with a distinctive paint scheme derived from the Japanese National Railways, seen from around 2000 to the end of 2008.
After the body paint base color changed from ivory to white, the front headlights were painted the same color as the body.
The train after soundproofing panels were installed next to the pantograph
The 26-1000 series trains after the windows of the service rooms on the sea side were opened.
Based on the actual car, non-smoking car symbols are printed next to the car number signs of cars 2, 3, and 4.
The louvers on the roof shoulders were changed to face sideways on the sea side, and the body of the JR West Type 21 car in its later years was reproduced using a special mold.
