Kato (Japan) - N Scale - OHANI Passenger Car - Brown/Grey With White Lettering (SKU 3811-50771)
Available On: September 1, 2021
The Oha 35 series is one of the representative passenger car types of the prewar Japanese National Railways, and has mass-produced more than 2,000 cars, which is the largest number of passenger cars in Japan. Introduced in 1939 with a folding wife / dome, a 1-meter-wide cabin window, a TR23 dolly, and a structure that makes heavy use of welding. Production before the war was discontinued in 1942, but when production was resumed after the war, it could be classified as a post-war type due to circumstances such as difficulty in obtaining materials and evolution of construction methods. Appeared in a unique form. Its characteristic is that the round roof is straightened (initially narrowed down) as it is a folded wife, and it has a form located between the general type Oha 35 series and the gable Suha 43 series that will appear later. As for the bogie, TR34 type, which is an improvement of TR23 type of flat bearing to domestic roller bearing, is adopted from the middle. Operationally, it was used in exactly the same way as the general type Oha 35 series, so its range of activity extended to all lines nationwide, and its activity could be seen everywhere from express trains to ordinary trains. The Ohani 36 series is based on the steel body passenger car Ohani 63 series that appeared in 1955, and is structurally a vehicle belonging to his Oha 61 series manufactured for local lines. However, since it was designed from the beginning for use in honor trains, the guest rooms are compliant with the Suha 43 series for express trains. Since the TR11 type dolly that was originally equipped is not suitable for high-speed driving, it was transferred to the TR52 type dolly from 1956, and it became the Ohani 36 type. The range of activity is wide, and we were able to see the activity on all lines nationwide, from express trains to ordinary trains.
