The KiHa 52, introduced in 1958 as a more powerful evolution of the KiHa 20, was a mainstay of rural lines across Japan, especially on steep-gradient routes.
This release features updated numbering and markings, plus newly upgraded warm-white LED lighting for an even more authentic appearance.

This release features updated car numbers and depot markings, along with a newly adopted warm-white LED lighting unit and is perfect for recreating classic JNR-era local operations!
