Product Description
Let's enjoy the Okutama limestone transport that was active until 1998!
[Product Introduction]
The Hoki 2500 series is a 35-ton capacity hopper car used for transporting limestone, with 172 units manufactured between 1967 and 1969.
Limestone mined from Okutama Station on the Ome Line was transported to Hamakawasaki Station on the Nambu Line.
It was part of a train set that included the Hoki 9500 series owned by Okutama Industries and Nippon Oil Transportation, and was a familiar sight as a freight train running through residential areas.
After the transition to JR, the affiliation designation was changed from [West (Japanese National Railways/Tokyo West Railway Bureau)] to [East (JR Freight Kanto Branch)], and it remained in service until the end of limestone transport on the Ome Line in 1998.
Afterwards, it was used for transporting limestone in the Tokai region, and after modifications following privatization, it was incorporated into the Hoki 9500 series.
We have newly produced a model of the JR Freight-spec Hoki 2500, which played an active role in transporting limestone on the Ome Line and Nambu Line.
Enjoy the twilight years of limestone transport by forming a train with the upcoming EF64 1000 and Hoki 9500 Nippon Oil Transportation products.
[Product features]
The Hoki 2500 is modeled after the JR transition in the 1990s, when it was based at Okutama Station and its ownership marking was [East (JR Freight Kanto Branch)].
The intricate details such as the ladders and handrails on the sides, the hinges on the opening and closing doors, and the ribs and air pipes on the end walls are realistically rendered.
By removing the molded parts representing the limestone cargo, the train can also be displayed in transit.
The TR213 bogie, with its bolster spring section covered by a cover, is installed.
Arnold couplers are standard equipment.
Rear reflector included (modification required for installation)
