♦Decided for Production!
Renewal New Lineup!
Series 183 Limited Express Train "Maizuru" and "Tanba"
The Limited Express "Maizuru" and "Tanba" formed with the series 183, currently active on the JR
West will be reproduced.
As it's a car reformed from the series 485, it is classified as Nos.700 and Nos.800.
♦Decided for Production!
To be compatible with the platform gates, the Saha E231 Additional Cars with 4doors on each
car has been added to the lineup!
The 6door cars planned to deal with the overcrowded Yamanote Line has become unneeded, as the
Yamanote line is to introduce the platform gates. So they are swapping the 6-door cars out and
taking in the 4-door cars.
And these newly introduced 4-door cars are scheduled to for released as a 2-car set limited
production item. The lower train in the image, the Type Saha E231 Nos.600 is the new 7th car. Is
almost the same as the pre-existing Type Saha E231 Nos.500.
The upper train in the photo, Type Saha E231 Nos.4600 is the new 10th car. It uses the same doors
as the Series E233. The fenestration is irregular, with the very right door positioned slightly to
the center. This was to comply with the trains of the Keihin Tohoku Line trains that may run onto
the Yamanote Line if there is possible changes in the train schedule diagram or refreshment
construction underway, and to match the leader car of the Keihin Tohoku Line train doors, its
become so irregular.
And thus, each railway model manufacturers are required to create a new mold if they are to
reproduce this difference, so here is the birth of one difficult middle train.
Anyway, due to time constraints, the first part of the flash report will end here.
By Kapinozuka, who might miss the last train!
