[About the prototype]
- Shin-Keihan Railway - These are double-roofed trains called Hankyu P4 and P5.
- Production began in 1925 when Shin-Keihan Railway opened the line between Tenjinbashi Station and Awaji Station.
- Initially, five cars, numbered 9 to 13, were manufactured, and were called P-4 type within the department.
- In 1926, five cars, 14 to 18, were added and designated P-5 type.
- There are some differences in the bodywork, but it's basically the same.
- In 1927, 19-28 were added, and in 1929, 51-56 were added as control cars, completing the complete set.
- Around the same time, numbers 9 and 10 were renumbered to 29 and 30.
- In 1929, the Ministry of Railways instructed them to give their trains model names, and they were officially named Dero 10 and Fro 50. However, they continued to be called P-4 and P-5 within the department, and the Dero name became familiar to outsiders.
- In 1928, the voltage was increased to 1500V, the current collector was changed to a pantograph, and a motor generator was installed to supply power to the main controller, etc.
- From around 1932, work began on installing connecting doors on either or both sides of the car body, resulting in the appearance seen in the train's later years.
- Some of them were later transferred to the Nose Electric Tramway, but were scrapped from the Hankyu Line in 1963 and disappeared.
[Kit Overview]
- For availability reasons, the power unit is matched to the following:
- Because of this, the overall length is deformed, so it will be commercialized as a type.
・Railway Collection N gauge power unit TM-21 <14m class A>
- Basically, it reproduces the appearance after the post-war period when the voltage was increased to 1500V and the current collector was replaced with a pantograph.
- There are many variations in whether the hole is through or not, and in terms of the detailed shapes, so this is not intended for a specific machine.
- Several representative prototypes will be created and commercialized.
- With some minor modifications, it is also possible to recreate the appearance of the train after it was transferred to Nose Electric Railway.
- The distinctive double roof is made as one piece from white metal.
- The brass etched body is combined to create a detailed representation.
- Lights, hood frame, end beams, underfloor equipment, etc. are all made of white metal and are included.
- Can be assembled by soldering or adhesive.
- Pantograph is not included. Please use other company's products.
