──The Kiha 45 type, which was created by modifying the Ohafu 62, is now available as an unpainted plate kit with a dedicated power unit
- The JNR Kiha 45 type is a diesel railcar that was modified from the old Ohafu 62 type passenger car.
- Five cars were modified at JNR Naebo Works in Hokkaido between 1960 and 1962.
- The Kiha 45 series is an Ohaf 62 series (a Hokkaido version of the Ohaf 61 series, characterized by double-glazed windows and large under-floor batteries) made from pre-war wooden passenger cars with a steel body, equipped with a DMH17 type diesel engine, and the conductor's compartment converted into a driver's cab.
- The body of the old passenger car is almost the same as the old one, but it is painted in Cream No. 4 and Vermilion No. 4 as a general-purpose diesel railcar, giving it a very unique appearance.
- In 1966, the model name was changed to Kiha 09, giving way to the new suburban diesel railcar (Kiha 45 series) that was introduced.
- The actual vehicle was expected to alleviate the shortage of diesel railcars in Hokkaido, but as a result of mounting the engine on an already heavy car body, there were problems with driving performance such as acceleration and deceleration, and it was scrapped after being in operation in Hokkaido until 1971.
