Kato 10-1147 Series 181 100 Express Toki/Azusa 6 Car Powered Set

Product Description

Series 181 is a representative AC limited express electric train which is powered up on the basis of JR’s Series 151 (161) limited express. It is characterized by reinforced motor power, control equipment changed for brake to reduce speed on slopes, removed top headlight and strengthened cold and snow resistant apparatus. All of these were made to operate the train in mountainous Chuo Line. Because of this, the locomotive has taken over the red lines on the bonnet from Series 161 as the proof of train for mountainous regions.

Called “Kodama type” following name of the first limited express electric train of JR, it used to run as a limited express train connecting the Tokyo metropolitan area and Joetsu and Shin-etsu line areas until it retired in 1982 when the Shinkansen line was opened.
