Product Description
── Like a phoenix! The war-damaged restored passenger car Mayuni 78!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
During the period of material scarcity immediately following the Pacific War, many vehicles that had been damaged in air raids and other disasters were repaired and put back into service as "war damaged restoration cars." Of these, the group that was restored as JNR passenger cars was given model numbers in the 70s and, taking into account transportation conditions, had bodies similar to commuter trains with three doors on each side, and played an important role as a valuable asset.
There were many different base vehicles, and the types were mainly divided according to weight class and use, so it is noteworthy that there was a wide variety of shapes even within the same type, due to differences in the damage caused by the disaster.
The war damage restoration vehicles were retired from frontline service as new vehicles were built, but in the 1950s they were gradually repurposed to replace wooden commercial vehicles.
The Mayuni 78-15 was born in March 1954 when the Oha 78-6 was modified at the Nagano factory.
It was initially assigned to the Kyushu, Kashima Railway Bureau, but was transferred to the Eastern Railway Bureau within the same year, and after serving at Ogu Passenger Car Depot, it was transferred to the Ikeda Branch of the Obihiro Passenger and Freight Car Depot of the Hokkaido, Kushiro Railway Bureau in 1962, and in 1966 it was remodeled into a rescue car, Sue 78-15.
