To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the N Gauge, we are releasing a special package of the KIHA 20 series from the initial product lineup that started in 1965. The KIHA 20 series is a general-purpose diesel railcar introduced in 1957, which, including versions developed for cold regions, was active on local lines across the country and continued its service until shortly after the JR transition in 1991.
The KIHA 20 series is a revival model inspired by the early N Gauge products. The Orange 1 set features the classic orange and cream colors of the JNR era, while the Orange 2 set showcases the single orange Metropolitan area color that was prominent from the late JNR era to the JR era. Each set comes in two cars. The packaging is also designed with the early days of N Gauge in mind, evoking the nostalgia of N Gauge products from years past.
Celebrating the 60th anniversary, this exciting N Gauge lineup is perfect for everyone to enjoy. For veteran users, it serves as a nostalgic collection reminiscent of past products, and for newcomers to N Gauge, it is an ideal entry-level model to start with ease.
