Product Description

──The veterans are heading for Tamba! The 800 series is suited to cold climates!

[Actual vehicle introduction]
The 113 series is a DC commuter train that was introduced in 1963 as an enhanced version of the 111 series that was introduced in 1962.
Strictly speaking, only electric cars existed, and the leading and trailing cars were the 111 series, with specifications and structures changed, but a total of 2,943 cars were manufactured by 1982, and for many years they were seen in service mainly on flat tracks in DC electrified sections across the country.
As production of the 111 series electric cars was discontinued after only 64 units were produced, it is customary for all trains other than the narrowly defined 111 series electric cars to be referred to in the broader sense as the 113 series.
The 113 series electric trains required for the electrified opening of the Fukuchiyama Line in 1986 were to be supplied by converting and modifying existing cars, taking into account the financial situation of the Japanese National Railways at the time.The base cars selected for the conversion were mainly the early-manufactured 113 series from various regions.
Since the 113 series, originally designed for warm climates, was converted for use in cold climates, the passenger doors were semi-automated and equipped with handles, and the body color was changed to what is known as the "Fukuchiyama color," which is yellow No. 5 with a blue No. 20 stripe, and the train was newly classified as the 800 series.
The 800 series was available in four-car formations and two-car formations converted to lead-car formations. Some cars had air conditioning from the base period, while others remained non-air-conditioned. Among these, some non-air-conditioned cars were converted to air conditioning using decentralized air-conditioning units after the privatization of the Japanese National Railways.
This model is based on the K4 formation of the Fukuchiyama Electric Railway Depot, and in addition to the aforementioned cooling modifications using distributed air conditioning, it is notable that the odd-numbered leading cars have been converted to shield beams since they were base cars.Around 1990, it was temporarily transferred to the Aboshi Electric Railway Depot while still retaining its Fukuchiyama colors, and was seen in action on rapid trains on the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines, as well as on the Kusatsu and Kosei Lines.

All four cars are modeled after Fukuchiyama Electric Railway Depot K4 train set, which was converted to air conditioning with WAU102.
The odd-numbered leading car (Kuha 111-807) has a shield beam modified front that is different from the even-numbered leading car (Kuha 111-808).
Two silver sheet marks are printed on the sides of each leading car.
The red "No Smoking Car" mark, which was only seen on some vehicles at the time, was printed on the three cars other than Kuha 111-807.
The destination stickers include the "Hoshi" markings in green letters on a white background, allowing you to recreate the Aboshi train depot era.
The silver color of the shoes is based on the actual vehicle.
