KATO 10-040 Kiha 20 Series Orange 1 [Special Edition]

Relive railway history with this limited-edition Kiha 20 Series set, commemorating six decades of N gauge excellence. Faithfully reproducing Japan's iconic 1957 general-purpose railcar in its classic orange-and-cream livery, this collector's piece blends vintage charm with modern model craftsmanship. The special retro packaging takes you back to the early days of model railroading, making it equally appealing for longtime enthusiasts and newcomers exploring Japan's rail heritage.

Key Features:

• Authentic 1950s replica – Standard orange/cream scheme from JNR's golden era

• Anniversary edition packaging – Two clear display cases with four unique vintage-style inserts

• Historical touches – Includes reprinted inspection certificate for powered car (Kiha25)

• Period-correct details – Black front hood, gray undercarriage, black bogies

• Collector's appeal – "Kansui" ownership markings and Arnold couplers

Why This Set Stands Out:

• Nostalgic value – Faithful recreation of early N gauge production models

• Display-ready presentation – Special box designed for collectors

• Operational simplicity – Ready-to-run with standard track power

• Historical significance – Represents Japan's most widespread postwar railcar

Product Specifications:

• Scale: N gauge (1:150)

• Contents: 2-car set (Kiha20 x2)

• Features: Non-lighted, no interior lighting capability

• Couplers: Arnold type (included)

Own a piece of model railway history with this anniversary tribute to Japan's workhorse railcar. The thoughtful packaging and historical accuracy make it ideal for display, while the operational design lets you recreate classic local line operations. Whether you're completing a period-accurate layout or starting a collection of significant Japanese trains, this limited-run set delivers both sentimental value and quality craftsmanship.
