Prototype
Information:
One of Japan’s most iconic commuter trains, the JNR 103 Series
was built in over 3,400 cars and operated nationwide for decades. Familiar
not only to railway enthusiasts but also to the general public, the
103 Series remains one of Japan’s most iconic commuter trains.
This renewed set features LED lighting and added front car variations,
offered in classic Sky Blue and Uguisu (Light Green) liveries. The Sky
Blue version includes the distinctive low-cab front car used on Keihanshin
local services—perfect for recreating classic urban rail scenes
in N scale.
The 103 series is a standard commuter DC electric train of Japanese
National Railways, with mass
production beginning in 1964. Over 3,400 cars were built over more than
20 years. These trains operated on DC lines across Japan, with many
variations depending on the production period and the lines they served.
Even today, they remain familiar to many people, not just railway enthusiasts.
Following the first releases in “Uguisu” (Olive-Green) and
“Sky Blue”, this second release features
Orange, Canary Yellow, and Emerald Green liveries.
You can enjoy the iconic appearance of the 103 series that operated
in both the Kanto and Kansai regions in N-gauge.
