We are renewing and releasing the Ku5000, which was active nationwide for automobile transport in the 1960s. The Ku5000 was a car carrier that appeared in 1966, when the number of automobiles produced in Japan was steadily increasing, to standardize automobile transportation. It quickly became the star of JNR freight transport, and at its peak, the special express (later express) train "Arrow" was operated, and dedicated trains of up to 20 cars were active throughout the country. We will revise the details, such as the shape of the handrails, and release them with new molds using KATO's latest technology. We will also produce car-mounted accessories that reproduce the state of the automobiles being loaded, with protective sheets, as they were actually seen. Although automobile transport by Ku5000 was once discontinued in March 1984, at the end of JNR, due to the strong demand for passenger cars both domestically and internationally, railway transport of automobiles manufactured at the Nissan Motor Tochigi plant was revived in March 1985. In addition to dedicated trains from Utsunomiya to Yokohama Honmoku (for export) and Chidoricho (for domestic use), transportation to local areas was carried out by connecting to dedicated freight trains. The color scheme was changed from the original single red color to a two-tone blue and red, and then to the blue, white, and red tricolor, which was also the corporate color of Nissan Motor at the time. At that time, among the automobiles loaded on the Ku5000, the Cedric and Pulsar, which were often seen, were selected as prototypes, and will be released in a total of 7 molding colors, with 8 cars per set. They are suitable as loading automobiles for the "Ku5000 Tricolor Color". You can also enjoy recreating scenes such as loading onto a cartrain that stops at a freight station plate, and using road accessories such as GeoTown and Unitram.
