Any photos of the Minobu Line red 115 Series?

Just wondering, does anyone have a link to some photos of the red/white stripe 115 Series units as modelled by Kato and Tomix? I've just bagged a Kato one via ebay and also have the Tomytec Kumoyuni in matching colours.

 

Photos of the latter in service (or indeed any Kumoyuni/Kumoya/Kumoni 14x Series units) would also be welcome as I've only found one or two so far!

I found this on the English Wikipedia:

Here's another one, found on the Japanese Wikipedia:

Enter "身延線 115系" into Google Image Search and you'll find a lot more.  :)

Thanks for that, the first one explains the comment in the Kato instructions about the formation changing later on (both Kuhas facing the same way rather than back to back).

Speaking of which, whatever happened to those distinctive Minobu Line 115's? Were they scrapped? Or were they refurbished and repainted for eventual use on other lines (e.g., they were transferred to Chūō Main Line local service)?
