Product Description
─ ─ Kobe City Tram 1150 type railway collection with a retro Showa feel!
[Actual vehicle guide]
- Kobe City Tram Type 1150 is a streetcar operated by Kobe City Tram. The introduction of high-performance streetcars was planned by tram operators and vehicle manufacturers, and in 1955, No. 1151 and No. 1152, each with different specifications, were introduced. These two cars had strong prototype elements, and various tests and specification comparisons were conducted, and then six mass-produced cars, Nos. 1153 to 1158, were manufactured in 1956, for a total of eight cars. From 1964 to 1968, in order to change the control system from indirect control to direct control, the trolley and electrical components were replaced, and the machine was remodeled to become a one-man operation. The original Kobe City Tram design has been popular ever since its introduction, and it remained in operation until March 1971, when all Kobe City Tram lines were abolished.
