●We are releasing the Kintetsu 10100 series, a two-storey express train popularly known as the "New Vista Car."
●The Kintetsu 10100 series "New Vista Car" made its debut as a direct express train between Nagoya and Osaka, which was made possible by the gauge conversion of the Nagoya Line in 1959, and is an express train that solidified the image of Kintetsu limited express trains.
●A three-car articulated train including a groundbreaking two-storey middle car, three types of trains, A, B and C, with different front shapes, were mass-produced.
●From 1967 to 1975, changes were made to the train, such as the installation of a snack corner, changing the window arrangement by relocating the toilets, and the installation of radio antennas and snowplows.
●Prior to its retirement in 1979, a commemorative run was held using the A+C+B triple-unit (9-car formation), which had not been seen until then, and from July to August 1979, a triple-unit run was held with a "farewell run" headmark to make a grand finale.
●A lineup of <New Vista Car> cars is now available, allowing you to enjoy the train's post-renovation form.
●Not only can you recreate the appearance of the train with 2 or 3 units connected together like the actual train, but you can also recreate the train with the farewell run headmark.
[Product Features]
●Productized in the form after renovation carried out by around 1975
●Reproduces the radio antenna on the roof at the front of the leading car, the defroster on the front window, and the snowplow under the front floor that were added during the renovation
●The two-story middle car Sa10200 reproduces the window appearance, interior, and the presence or absence of a snack corner that were changed due to the relocation of the toilet (10218 and 10210 in the 9-car set do not have a snack corner)
●The exterior of the Sa10200 reproduces the characteristics of its later years, such as the blue paint on the bottom of the car body and the removal of the radio receiving antenna on the roof
●The 6-car set A reproduces the V01 formation, the only non-through leading car Mo10100 that had a pillar on the front window
●Each leading car except 10106 and 10110 has head/tail lights, signal lights, and express markings. White LEDs are used, and only the through leading cars have a switch to turn them off
●The use of a slotless motor achieves smooth and quiet running. Considering coupled operation, A and C formations are equipped with traction tires, while B formation is unpowered.
● The leading end of the through-car is equipped with a body-mounted KATO close-coupled coupler (without hooks).
● The 6-car and 9-car sets have an express mark already attached to the non-through leading car, and an express mark for the through-car and a front hood for attaching the express mark are included. The 3-car set of C formation has both leading cars.
● Both have express marks already attached, and a replacement front hood is included to recreate a form without the express mark.
● The included destination display board contains the contents of the B-type express train (stopping at major stations), which was the main operation at the end of the series. Includes: "Osaka-Uehonmachi", "Kashikojima", "Kyoto", "Nara"
● "Kashihara-Jingu-mae", "Nagoya (light blue)", "Toba (light blue)"
