Product Description
-- A reproduction of the third train of the 521 series, an AC/DC train that runs on the Hokuriku Main Line!
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The 521 series is a commuter train that began operation in 2006 and is used as local and rapid trains mainly in the Hokuriku region.
- The third batch of 521 series cars was introduced in 2013 and underwent a model change from the conventional 521 series, including a change in the front design and the addition of a fall prevention hood.
- Trains are operated in four-car formations, consisting of two coupled trains, up from the shortest two-car formation.
[Actual vehicle guide (details)]
- The 521 series is an AC/DC commuter train that JR West started to introduce in 2006 to replace the existing 475 series and other trains in the Hokuriku region. This is the first new AC/DC commuter train manufactured by JR West, and its body control device is based on the 683 series, and the underfloor equipment is covered to make it cold-resistant and snow-resistant. The body design is based on the 223 series, and it is made up of two cars, the KuMoHa 521 and the KuHa 520, with a total of 70 cars introduced in the first and second batches.
- The third series of cars was released in 2013. While the basic performance of the third series was the same, the body design was based on the 225 series, and safety measures were improved with the addition of a hood to prevent passengers from falling between the front cars and an abnormal behavior detection system.
- This series is used mainly in the Hokuriku region as local and rapid trains, and is operated in a variety of configurations, from the shortest two-car formation to four-car formations made up of two coupled formations. However, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, some formations have been transferred to the various third-sector operators of the former Hokuriku Main Line, and are still in use.
