Product Description
Based on the same concept as Volume 290 [From the 63 Series to the 90 Series - The Evolution of Commuter Trains], this is the second volume that focuses on the evolution of railway vehicles during the heyday of the Japanese National Railways around 1960, when the country was transitioning from post-war reconstruction to rapid economic growth.
While the previous work was about the history of the development of commuter trains, this work is about the history of the development of medium-distance trains such as semi-express and express trains.
Starting with the 80 Series Shonan-type train, which had a bright image with its large two-window front and orange and green paint scheme known as the Shonan color, the train evolved into the 91 Series Tokai-type train, which was the ancestor of later express trains (such as the 153, 165, and 457 series) with lighter body weight and improved running performance. This exhibition will provide a detailed explanation of the process by which the train evolved.
