Description

Relive the golden era of Hokkaido rail travel with this exquisite recreation of the iconic JNR 485 Series "Ishikari" express. Capturing every distinctive feature from its dual headlights to the signature gray roof, this 6-car set transports you back to 1970s Sapporo-Asahikawa service with remarkable authenticity.

Prototype Highlights:

  • Dual-system operation: Faithfully replicates the AC/DC dual-current design

  • Distinctive lighting: Dual cab headlights with warm LED illumination

  • Interchangeable markings: Includes both illustrated and text version "Ishikari" train plates

  • Seasonal details: Features bogie snowplows for Hokkaido winter operations

  • Smooth performance: M-13 motor with flywheel ensures steady running

Why This Set Stands Out:
Beyond typical reproductions, this collection nails the Ishikari's unique character - from the gray H-rubber seals to the proper DT32G/TR69G bogies. The illuminated train plate with color prism effect adds a stunning nighttime display dimension.

Technical Specifications:

  • Era: JNR 1970s Hokkaido service

  • Formation: 6-car set (KUHA481 + MOHA484 + MOHA485 + MOHA484 + MOHA485 + KUHA481)

  • Special Features:
    • Directional lighting with bulb-colored LEDs
    • New current collection system
    • Blackened metal wheels

  • Compatibility: Tomix 0733 interior lighting kit

Display Notes:

  • Track power required (no batteries)

  • Pre-printed details (no painting needed)

  • Includes transfer sheets for numbering variations

Operate a piece of Japanese rail history with this meticulously crafted Ishikari set. Whether you're modeling Hokkaido's express lines or collecting JNR's most adaptable trains, the attention to prototype details - from the whistle covers to ATS receivers - makes this a standout addition. The combination of operational reliability and display-ready features satisfies both operators and collectors alike.
