--The 401 series, which was active in the Kanto area, is cream-colored with blue stripes in preparation for the Tsukuba Expo held in 1985!
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The Joban Line, which has a geomagnetic observatory along its route, has an AC electrified section that does not affect observations, located relatively close to the starting point. Therefore, the 401 series commuter train, which can be used both AC and DC, was developed in 1960 to run on this section.
- The body shape, with three double-doors on each side and semi-cross seats, became the basis for subsequent JNR suburban trains.
- The initial front shape was a low cab with a large front window, the same shape as the 153 series, but from a while ago, a high cab structure was adopted as a measure against crossing accidents, like the 153 series, and the vertical dimension of the front window was shortened.
- The pantograph-equipped Moha 400 series had the distinctive features of an AC/DC train, with its equipment on the roof and main transformer under the floor.
- The body paint of the train was rose pink, known as Aka-no-13, and was affectionately known as the "Red Train." However, in preparation for the Tsukuba Expo held in 1985, the color was gradually changed to cream with blue stripes from 1983 onwards, and the trains were used alongside the uprated 403 and 415 series trains of the same series.
[point]
- The front of the through door with a thin canopy seat is made of separate parts for the head and tail light rims, realizing blue stripe printing with minimal bleeding.
- In addition, the antenna base can be selected from cone-shaped or square, and the bridge plate can be selected from small or large.
- The Joban Radio antenna piping is molded into the roof, and the antenna itself is pre-installed and inserted from the back.
- The area of the low roof around the pantograph of the Moha 400 type is wider than that of the early model, and the running board is in a straight line, reproducing the positional relationship of the AC and DC lightning arresters, which differs from the later models.
- The underfloor sections are also newly produced, the main transformer of the Moha 400 series and the crushing type waste treatment device of the Kuha series are also reproduced, and the cutout shape of the skirt is also newly produced for the 401 series.
