Rokuhan Z Shorty ST013-1 JNR Shorty KIHA32 Hobby Train Version

SA001-1 required to operate (sold separately).

The Kiha 32 was introduced as a replacement for old railcars in the Shikoku area, where severe management was expected, as preparations prior to the privatization of JNR. By using the know-how gained from manufacturing light railcars for the third sector, we achieved a lighter body than conventional JNR-type railcars, while using ordinary steel, which is less expensive to manufacture but weighs less than stainless steel .

The railway hobby train is a vehicle that has been remodeled as a sightseeing vehicle to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Yodo Line and the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Uwajima-Chikanaga section. The maximum speed is 85km/h, which is a leisurely pace, but inside the train, there are seats used in the real 0 Series Shinkansen and showcases displaying model trains, making it a fun ride.
