――In this JNR 70 series, the purpose is to improve visibility during snowfall, including the `ska color` of the Ryomo line including the rare car Kuha 77 of the Salo 85 remodeling that was enrolled only in the Takasaki area and the Kuha 68 that was active in the Niigata area. We will commercialize two types of `Niigata color` with red and yellow paint colors!

[JNR 70 series Niigata color 4-car set B]
--Following the Niigata color released in February 2021, the lineup is a 4-car train. Unlike the previous 6-car set, both leading cars have H rubber type for the door pocket windows of Kuha 68 and Kuha 76 from the time of new production. (This is the first appearance of the Niigata-colored Kuha 68)
――Both are fronts equipped with a tie phone peculiar to the Niigata area.
[Actual vehicle guide]
--JNR 70 series is a middle-distance (suburban type) train manufactured from 1951 (Showa 26).
――It made its debut on the Yokosuka Line and was introduced in the Kansai area.
――The front shape (commonly known as Shonan Face) that follows the 80 series secondary car of the long-distance train that appeared earlier has gained popularity as a smart vehicle.
――When the Joetsu Line Nagaoka-Niigata was electrified in 1962 (Showa 37), the 70 series in the Kansai area was transferred, and later the transfer proceeded sequentially from the Yokosuka Line.
――I was assigned to the Nagaoka No. 2 Motive Power Depot (Nagaoka Driver's Office) and was active on the Joetsu Line and Shin-Etsu Line.
――Initially, only the intermediate car was transferred, and the leading car was operated with the formation of Kuha 68, but from 1964 (Showa 39), the transfer of Kuha 76 has also started.
――At the same time, in heavy snowfall areas, the colors were gradually changed to red and yellow (commonly known as Niigata color) because they were more noticeable.
――After that, from 1976 (Showa 51), 115 series were introduced one by one and selection started, and from 1978 (Showa 53), 115 series 1000 series was introduced, so I retired from the Joetsu line in the same year.
――This product is based on the image of the red and yellow "Niigata color" formation that was active in the Niigata area. I have set it.
--1/150 scale N gauge size Painted and assembled open package
――By using the power unit sold separately, you can run it as an N gauge model railroad.
--We recommend TM-17 (wheel diameter 6.0 mm) for the power unit, TT-03R (wheel diameter 5.6 mm) for the traveling parts set, and <0224> for the pantograph.
