KATO N-Scale LOCAL-SEN KiHa 20 Series Orange 2 (Capital Area Color) 2-Car Set Limited Edition
■ Product Overview
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of N-scale model railroading, KATO presents this highly collectible, limited-edition diesel railcar set. This special release brings back the iconic "KiHa 20 Series" from KATO's early lineup using refined modern production techniques. It beautifully captures the nostalgic essence of vintage Japanese rural lines. For veteran hobbyists, it serves as a nostalgic masterwork, while for newcomers, it is an easy-to-run entry model that carries deep historical value.
■ Key Features
・ Classic JNR "Capital Area Color" (Orange 2): Features the single-tone Vermilion No. 5 paint scheme, famously known as the "Capital Area Color" that ran across non-electrified local lines from the late JNR era to the early JR era. The 2-car formation consists of a KiHa 25 (motorized) and a KiHaユニ26 (postal/baggage combined trailer car), instantly reviving the authentic scenery of retro Japan on your layout.
・ Exquisite 60th Anniversary Retro Packaging: The set is housed in a specially designed commemorative outer box containing two individual clear cases. The paper inserts inside the clear cases replicate the charming, vintage package designs from the dawn of N-scale. Additionally, the motorized car comes with a replica vintage "Inspection Certificate," maximizing the joy of ownership for serious collectors.
・ Universal Arnold Couplers Pre-Installed: Equipped with standard Arnold couplers, ensuring flawless compatibility and easy coupling with your existing N-scale tracks and rolling stock. The cars also feature the traditional "Seki-Sui" depot markings, a detail that true train enthusiasts will appreciate.
