Product Description
--New look with blue logo! Paleo Express passenger car series 12
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- In 2000, Chichibu Railway introduced 12-series passenger cars acquired from JR East as passenger cars for the steam locomotive (Paleo Express).
- The train is made up of four cars, with two brake vans, SuHaFu 12 type, sandwiched between two OHa 12 type intermediate cars. In preparation for the transfer, the train's appearance has been changed by having its exterior panels repainted, its car number changed, the direction sign on the OHa 12 car removed, and the hood frame on the end panel on the conductor's compartment side of the SuHaFu 12 car removed.
- Originally, the trains had a chic look with a dark green base and gold stripes, but in 2012 the design was changed to a classic style with a reddish-brown base. In addition, in the spring of 2021, new logo marks were affixed under the toilet windows of each car, and destination signs with a nostalgic design were hung under the center window of the car.
- As of 2024, it continues to be used as a special tourist train on weekends, mainly for the steam locomotive train [Paleo Express] from spring to autumn.
[Product Overview]
- Variation product based on A2688 (shipped in October 2020)
- Reddish brown paint. The new blue logo mark that will be installed from spring 2021 and the destination sign under the center window of the car are printed on it.
- Various lettering such as car numbers around the passenger doors and reserved seat signs are also printed.
- The intermediate car with the destination sign buried and the brake van with the hood frame removed are reproduced using a special mold
- The SuHaFu 12 reproduces the narrow end window that is a characteristic of the later model
- Oha 12 reproduces the protrusion between the rooftop coolers, which is a characteristic of the early model
- The rear end of the SuHaFu 12-102 is equipped with a dummy coupler (replacement Arnold coupler included)
*A separate locomotive is required to run the train. The A2084 Chichibu Railway Deki 201 (black) is recommended as a traction engine.
*Some parts may differ from the actual vehicle due to shared parts.
