[What is Chikuho Electric Railway? ]
- As mentioned above, the Chikuho Electric Railway is a railway line that connects Kurosaki Station in Yahatanishi Ward, Kitakyushu City to Chikuho Nogata in Nogata City, but the line was originally planned by Nishinippon Railway to connect Kurosaki to Fukuoka Hakata via Chikuho.
- In 1959, the entire line from Kurosaki Ekimae to Chikuho Nogata, which is currently in operation, opened, but construction could not begin from there to Hakata due to the Yagiyama Pass, and plans to connect to Hakata were abandoned. I did.
- Also, the section between Kurosaki Station and Kumanishi was originally part of the Nishinippon Railway Kitakyushu Main Line, but with the abolition of the Kitakyushu Main Line, only that section remained and was inherited by Chikuho Electric Railway.
- If it had opened from Chikuho Nogata to Hakata... Fukuoka might have had a different transportation system.
- All vehicles on this line are streetcar-type vehicles, but the entire line is legally classified as a [railroad] route.
- The 2000 type was used for a long time, but now the low floor vehicles 3000 type and 5000 type have been introduced.
- By using the separately sold power unit and N scale running parts, it can be run as an N scale railway model.
- We recommend the power unit TM-TR06 (for road 3-articulated vehicles).
- 1/150 scale N gauge size painted and assembled open package
