--Masterpiece 16 Hanwa Electric Railway Moyo 100 Series
--1/80 16.5mm gauge metal kit
[About the prototype]
--Hanwa Electric Railway was located in the Kansai region in the early Showa period, and was a private railway that operated high-speed trains such as the non-stop [Bullet Train] and the direct trains of the Japanese National Railways.
――The `Hanwa-type train` has many characteristic vehicles, and the Moyo 100 is remembered as a high-power high-speed train that represents private railways at that time.
――Three JNR passenger cars were connected and towed as a `Kuroshio` directly connected to Shirahama.
――Hanwa Electric Railway was acquired during the war in 1944 after the Nankai merger period, and became the JNR Hanwa Line.
――Although the body length is shorter than the standard JNR train, it has a large output and more than 70 cars, and was used until the latter half of the 1960s.
――Various renewal repairs are being carried out during the JNR period.
――After that, most of the cars were scrapped, but only Moyo 104 and 106 were taken over by Matsuo Mine.
――At the Matsuo Mine, one cab was restored to both cabs because it was mainly operated by a single line, and the paint was applied separately to cream and maroon.
――A few years later, it was transferred to Konan Railway due to the abolition of Matsuo Mining.
――Although it was later downgraded to Kuha and Saha, it was dismantled after surviving until 1989.
――In this project, we will model the Moyo 100 and the control car Kuyo 500, which was born around the same time, to reproduce the appearance at that time.
--The Moyo 100 was a vehicle with both cabs. It is a configuration that you can enjoy, such as single-line, double-heading, or formation with a control car.
――In addition, we will also model the type that reproduces the appearance of the later years when he was enrolled in the Japanese National Railways and the type after the transfer of the Matsuo mine.
[Kit overview]
――The characteristic car body is reproduced by fine etching.
――The roof plate has the Odeco part as a lost part.
――We use a lot of lost parts such as lights and jumper plugs, and reproduce them in detail.
--The underfloor equipment comes with compatible parts.
――The kit does not include the dolly, power related items, and couplers.
--DT-11 is compatible as an approximate dolly.
--The Moyo 100 comes with special parts as an etching kit to reproduce the characteristic large pantograph.
--Pantograph is not attached to JNR Kumoha 20050 and Matsuo Mine Kumoha 200. PS-13 is compatible. Mounting dimensions 14x16
