【Rare】New Car Guidebook, compiled by Hajime Sugita and the Keio University Railway Research Club, First Edition, Showa 41 (1966) A legendary book containing "living data" on the new series of JNR (Japanese National Railways) rolling stock. This book is an essential resource for railway fans and model railroaders of the time, comprehensively explaining and illustrating the new series of JNR rolling stock that appeared by July 1966. In particular, this series, compiled by Mr. Hajime Sugita and the Keio University Railway Research Club, is not just a catalog, but is composed of detailed format drawings, specifications, and beautiful monochrome photographs of the actual vehicles, making it unmatched in its value as a resource.
