Keisei Electric Railway's first commuter train with field chopper control, the 3600 series in its heyday
● Keisei Electric Railway is a railway company that operates the Keisei Main Line, which connects Keisei Ueno Station (Tokyo) to Narita Airport Station (Chiba Prefecture), and branch lines to the Narita Sky Access Line, Oshiage Line, Kanamachi Line, Chiba Line, etc.
● The 3600 series was manufactured between 1982 and 1989, and was the first Keisei Electric Railway commuter train to use a T-type one-handle master controller and field chopper control.
● Since 1997, construction has been carried out to convert the 6-car train to an 8-car train, resulting in six 8-car trains and a surplus leading car that was combined into a 6-car train by freeing up the middle car.
● Currently, the introduction of successor trains is progressing, and one 6-car train and one 4-car train are still in use.
● This time, three types of trains will be commercialized with the specifications from when the 8-car train was introduced in 1997.
●Sets A/B reproduce the difference in the bottom shape of the car body as the 3638/3648 formations, the first batch of 8-car formations, and the appearance of the Narita-side pantographs of cars 3636 and 3646 before they were removed, while Set C is the prototype of the 3688 formation, a 6-car formation that existed at the same time, with the same bottom shape of the car body.
●This product is the 3638 formation immediately after being reassembled into an 8-car formation.
●Enjoy the scenes of two 8-car formations passing each other in express service and an 8-car formation overtaking a 6-car formation.
●The two 8-car sets include intermediate cars with different bottom shapes of the car body (presence or absence of a convex shape near the bogie), and the Narita-side pantographs of cars 3636 and 3646, which are installed near the center of the formation, reproduce the appearance before they were removed.
●The 6-car set is the 3688 formation, with the bottom shape of the car body (presence or absence of a convex shape near the bogie) aligned in a straight line.
●By using a separately sold power unit and N gauge running parts, it can be run as an N gauge model train.
●We recommend the TM-06R (18m class A) power unit, TT-04R running parts set, and PT8002N <0259> pantograph.
