[Explanation of the actual vehicle]
--Mani 36 type is a luggage car that was remodeled from surplus honor cars in 1966-52, and the types that became seed cars are Slone 30, Suro 34, Oro 35, Oro 36, Oro 40, Suro 50, Suro. A total of 237 vehicles (on paper) have appeared in 12 types of 60, Suroha 31, Suroha 32, Suha 32, Oha 35, and Suhani 35.
Of these, 6 modified cars of the Slone 30 type appeared in 1969 and 2337 as the final group of the Mani 36 type. Perhaps because the window layout of the Slone 30 type was special because it was mainly a wide window with a width of 1200 mm, the original window layout was hardly utilized and a 700 mm wide window and a 450 mm wide window were provided, making the car body like a new car. , One of the water tanks under the floor was left outside the car body, and this part had the remnants of the Slone 30 type. This arrangement of water tanks is unusual for a luggage car and has become a major feature of this group.
――The form of Mani 36 type modified from Slone 30 type can be roughly divided into the following two types depending on the modification factory.
--Omiya factory modified car (Mani 36 2332 ・ 2337)
・ Window layout as shown in the drawing (the position of the valuables room window on the official side and the toilet window on the informal side are staggered),
・ The ventilator layout is as shown in the drawing (5 places), and the battery box is replaced with the conventional large one, and two small ones are newly installed.
--Tadotsu factory modified car (Mani 36 2333 ・ 334 ～ 336)
・ The window layout on the informal side is different from the drawing (the position of the valuables room window and the toilet window are the same),
・ The ventilator layout is also different from the drawing (6 to 5 places), and the battery box is one large as it was at the time of Slone 30 type * 336 form is estimated
--After the appearance of Mani 36 (Surone 30 modified car), it was used on express [Tsugaru], ordinary trains, luggage trains, etc. In 1984, two cars were scrapped and one was remodeled into rescue car Oe 61 type. Other than that, it remained until the abolition of the luggage train in 1986. One vehicle was scrapped in the same year, but the remaining two Mani 36 2333 and 2337 were taken over by JR East as entry / exit vehicles for the Omiya Factory even after the JNR division and privatization. Mani 36 2333 was scrapped in 1989, and the last remaining Mani 36 2337 was scrapped in 1995 after a long suspension, and Mani 36 disappeared, and the last luggage car of a conventional passenger car.
