Product Description
-- The old Tokyu 5000 and 5200 series trains, popularly known as the Blue Frog and Hot Water Bottle, will be reproduced with some changes to specifications.
[Outline of Tokyu Railways' former 5000 series]
A total of 105 cars were manufactured between 1954 and 1959. This commuter train was affectionately nicknamed the "Blue Frog" by users due to its all-green color and bulging underside.
The lightweight vehicle was achieved through the application of an ultra-lightweight structure based on aircraft technology, the monocoque structure, and the first mass production of the right-angle cardan drive system in Japan.
It became a pioneer in reducing the weight of Japanese railway vehicles.
[Tokyu Railways 5200 Series Overview]
This commuter train was manufactured by Tokyu Car Corporation in 1958 and was affectionately nicknamed "Hot Water Bottle" by users due to its corrugated body.
Along with the JNR SaRo 153-900 series, it was the first train in Japan to use a stainless steel body.
Deha 5201, currently preserved at the Japan Transport Engineering Works, has been certified as a Recommended Industrial Heritage by the Japan Society of Industrial Archaeology and Mechanical Engineering Heritage No. 51 by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.
