Product Description
--The final magnificent appearance of the 8000 series, which supported the Kyoto Line and Nara Line!
[Vehicle Introduction]
The 8000 series is a commuter train that was introduced to the Kintetsu Nara Line and Kyoto Line in 1964, coinciding with the opening of the Ikoma Tunnel.
The indoor ventilation system and roof cross-section differ depending on the manufacturing period.
Furthermore, there are two types of bogies: the KD-51, which uses coil springs, and the KD-64, which uses air springs.
Initially, only lead cars were manufactured, and trains were formed in units of two cars, but from 1966 onwards, four-car trains were introduced.
Furthermore, air conditioning modifications began in 1974.
From 1981 onwards, vehicles with control systems that switched from resistance control to field phase control appeared, making regenerative braking available.
By 1988, the paint scheme had been changed to a two-tone ivory and maroon design, but around 1999, the maroon stripe at the bottom of the car body was discontinued.
A total of 208 units were manufactured and played an active role in commuter transport, but their numbers gradually decreased with the introduction of successor vehicles, and they were retired in 2025.
In conjunction with this, the "Farewell 8000 Series Last Ride Tour," which also served as a transfer for the trains to be scrapped, was held, with the L81 train set being selected for the tour on November 21st and the L86 train set for the tour on December 2nd, giving them a fitting farewell.
