Product Description
──The Queen descends on Echigo!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- In 1958, the Japanese National Railways succeeded in an unprecedented attempt to convert long-distance express trains to electric trains with the Moha 20 series (later the 151 series), and daytime express trains on the Tokaido Line began to be operated with the 151 series one after another.
- With the introduction of the derivative series of semi-express Moha 91 series (153 series) and the 157 series special semi-express with retarder brakes for the Nikko Line, JNR quickly established itself as the kingdom of electric trains. Its next task was to research the operation of limited express trains on the Joetsu Line, which would connect the Pacific side and the Japanese side in the shortest distance possible.
- Initially, it was planned to introduce the 151 series with a shortened formation, but after a test train got stuck due to the main motor exceeding its thermal capacity on a continuous gradient section, a new series, the 161 series, was born, combining the 151 series body with the electrical equipment of the 157 series. This made its debut in 1962 as the long-awaited Toki limited express.
- The 161 series was a minority, with only 15 cars appearing, but after 1965 they were converted into the 181 series through increased power output and a change in the gear ratio, and were seen in service on the Echigo route for a long time, along with a group of converted 151 series cars.
- The product is a 9-car train made just after its introduction, and is full of charm that is different from the later Joetsu Line 181 Series, such as the headlights and marker lamps on the roof of the driver's cab.
