Product Description

- RM Re-Library will reprint two or three of the best volumes from the long history of RM LIBRARY, which already has over 280 issues.

- The 27th volume in the series is the first to compile three separate volumes (when first published, the book was made up of three volumes: upper, middle and lower), and will include a reprint of "All about Heavy-duty Cars" (by Yoshioka Shinpei) from RM Library volumes 91, 92 and 93.

- [Big Car is the King of Freight Cars]
- These are freight cars used to transport large cargo that cannot be loaded into other types of freight cars, and their appearances and structures vary depending on their purpose and use.

・This book starts with the Meiji era, which is called the "mythical era," and gives an overview of how it developed through the Taisho and Showa eras. It is interesting to see how huge freight cars appeared one after another, like the evolution of dinosaurs. By the way, the actual cars have been gradually declining since the JR era, but there are still a very small number of cars still in use.

- Heavy-duty vehicles are classified into various types, such as low-floor, split low-floor, drop-down, split drop-down, low-floor drop-down, flat bed, and suspended types, and this book lists and explains each type within each classification.
