Product Description
── A passenger car has been transformed in the northern lands! A modified diesel car, Kisaha 45!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- Of the Kiha 20 series general-purpose diesel railcars, which had larger bodies and increased comfort, the Kiha 22 type was introduced in 1958 for use in extremely cold regions such as Hokkaido and the Tohoku region.
- In particular, the early 100 or so cars had the typhoon lights next to the headlights, which gave them a different appearance than the later groups, in which the typhoon lights were moved to the side of the taillights.
- Around 1960, there were still many inefficient passenger trains on local lines across the country, and many local authorities requested that they be converted to diesel railcars, which would allow for more efficient operation.
- One way to respond to this demand was to convert passenger cars into diesel railcars.
- The 61 Series passenger cars were used for this service, and 14 cars were released in four different models, with differences in the number of driver's cabs and whether or not they were powered.
- The KiSaHa 45 is one of these models, and three cars were converted from the OHa 62 in 1963.
- Only minimal modifications were made, such as the installation of a wiring circuit for diesel railcars, the fitting of a diesel railcar hood frame and taillights, and the installation of a Webasto-type heating system. No running engine or driver's cab was installed, and at first glance it looked like only the paint had been changed.
- Stationed at Muroran and Naebo depots, they were operated coupled with other diesel railcars such as the Kiha 22, but due to significant limitations they were scrapped just three years later in 1966.
