Product Description
-- Trace the strange history of the car with a model! Kuha 115-604, two forms!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
The 115 series is a DC commuter train that was introduced in 1963 as a version of the 111 series that was introduced in 1962 and had increased power and could be used on steep slopes.
With changes to their specifications and structure, they were manufactured until 1983 and were seen in service in almost all DC electrified sections of the country for many years.
Originally, the headlights were a shape called "large eye" headlights, but from minor change vehicles (300 series) onwards, small shield beam lamps with improved illumination were adopted, and the large eye headlight vehicles were gradually converted to shield beam lights.
The modifications continued even after the privatization of the Japanese National Railways, and from around 2006, simply modified cars that left the outer casing of the large eyeball light intact and fitted shield beam lights inside in order to reduce costs began to appear in the Hiroshima and Shimonoseki areas.
The 115 series has a lot in common with the 111 and 113 series, and many modifications were made across these series.
The KuHa 115-600 series is a group that incorporates a 111 series leading car, and has undergone the replacement of the main controller and the semi-automation of passenger doors.
When KuHa 115-604 was first remodeled it was painted in Shonan colors, but after it was transferred to the Fukuchiyama Line it was repainted in New Fukuchiyama colors, and after the front window was reinforced it was transferred to Shimonoseki in 2004, where it continued to be used in that condition for some time.
It had a turbulent life, being repainted in Setouchi colors in 2007 to coincide with a simple shield beam conversion, and then in 2009 when the other cars in the train underwent structural improvement work, it was repainted in Hiroshima renewal colors, but was retired in 2012.
