Product Description

[About the actual car]
- The SAHA75-100 series is a second-class car (later first-class car) of the Yokosuka Line 70 series, and is a trailer car manufactured as the SARO46 series.
- At the time the 70 series was manufactured, there were many second-class cars that were modified pre-war cars, so only 18 cars of this type were manufactured. For this reason, all-gold cars like the Kuha 76 and Moha 70 did not appear, but this led to a later shortage of first-class cars, and also became the catalyst for repainting the Saro 85 series for the Shonan type and using them for a long time.
- When the 70 series was transferred to the regions, the Saro 75 type was downgraded to second class, but the interior was left untouched, which caused problems with boarding and alighting during rush hour, so some cars had 1000mm doors installed in the center of the car body, some were converted to long seats, and were renamed the 100 series. Also, the cars that remained with two doors were converted to Kuha 75 type after a driver's cab was installed, and only four cars ended their lives in their original form.

[About SARO75/SAHA75]
- Second class car (later first class car) for the Skyline 70 series, called the old type SaRo 46 type. At the time the 70 series was manufactured, the Skyline still had many second class cars, including the prewar SaRo 45 type (GM kit #174), and the substitute second class cars such as SaHa 48 and 57, which were hastily remodeled after the war, so the production of the 46 type was limited to a total of 18 cars, 10 cars (with TR45 bogies = DT13 in the model) in 1950 and 8 cars (with new TR48 bogies) added between 1953 and 1955, and no all-gold cars such as KuHa 76 and MoHa 70 were manufactured. (As a result, when the prewar first class cars mentioned above were downgraded and removed due to aging on the Skyline, there was a shortage of first class cars, so the Shonan-use SaRo 85s were repainted in Skyline colors and used in large quantities for a long period of time.)
- Now, like other 70 series cars, the Salo 75 series began to be transferred to local areas in the mid-1960s, driven by the 111 series, and was diverted to the Nikko Line (formation diagram B on the back of the package), the Chuo-Nishi Line (formation diagram E on the same package), the Iida Line (formation diagram see the design drawing of the Electric Railway Kit #204), the Joshinetsu local line (formation diagrams C to D on the same package), etc. (For a very short period of time, it was also incorporated into an 80 series and ran around Shizuoka on the Tokaido Main Line. -- Still in Sky Blue.)
- Among these, the ones used on the Chuo-Nishi Line Nagoya Exit and the Iida Line Southern Local were originally left as they were, with only the class bands removed, but because the narrow 700mm-wide two doors caused problems with handling passengers during rush hour, a 1000mm-wide door was added to the center between 1969 and 1970, and some of the seats were renumbered to SaHa 75-100. This is the state of this kit. Also, of the nine cars that were converted to Joshinetsu Local, five were remodeled to have a driver's cab installed when they were transferred (1967) and became the new KuHa 75 type, and continued to be used in the unique red/yellow Niigata color until the day they were replaced by the 115 series, but the remaining four cars (75000, 001, 004, 009) that were used as SaHa were never converted to three doors and were scrapped in their original form and disappeared.
- This kit can be assembled as is to create the Central Line/Iida Line type Saha 75-100. By using the Saha restoration parts to fill in the central additional door, you can create the original Skyline Saha 75 (46) type. You can also combine it with the Kuha 85 kit (#169) to create a Niigata-colored Kuha 75.
