Oh Wow who doesnt love a bright Red and orange train!! Lovely indeed! Kato perhaps? They already got the tooling for the huge range of 223s they've got...

From July 4, 2021, a wrapping train with the theme of "demon" has appeared. "Kihoku Town", the only local public organization in Japan that has the characters "Oni" JR Shikoku and Kihoku Town have started the operation of "Oni" wrapping trains for the purpose of promoting the appeal of the Nanyo region and promoting the use of railways. rice field. Taken at Kita-Iyo Station and Ichitsubo Station.

I didn't see this mentioned here. Since around late 2019 a 113 series in the Kyoto area has been rewrapped into SHINOBI TRAIN:

I found this article about it (although I think the special train was unrelated to the livery) :

Seems ninja themed?

Shinobi and ninja are interchangeable terms.

 

It’s a nice livery. I could see Greenmax doing it in the next few years. They have been producing JR West painted 115.

For the last year they have been holding anniversary events at Kushiro depot to celebrate the anniversaries of 4 different JR Hokkaido lines. They repainted 2 Kiha 40-1700 (Kiha 40-1759 and Kiha 40-1766) in a JNR livery that was used on Kiha 22's operating in the area.  Some details:

These generally seem to operate on the Shintoku-Kushiro section of the Nemuro main line outside of the special event dates with a timetable available as well:

There are some pictures of the units here:

And also a video on youtube:

 

 

I guess there is a good chance that Tomix will produce these at some point. Would go nice with many of the JR Hokkaido Kiha 40's they have already produced (especially the vermillion coloured ones).

Stunning special wrapping on a JR West 223:

Why are we still waiting for Kato or Tomix to pick this UP??? There should be ROWS of 223 moulds laying around as an evergreen JR West train...  X_X

Maybe soon they will run out of Kiha 40-1700 in the original JR Hokkaido livery...!

I saw this a while ago and forgot to post it: they have announced that 4 of the JR H100 series for Hokkaido will run in different wrappings for 4 different lines: Hanasaki Line, Senmo main line, Sekihoku main line and Furano line.

One is the same as the current Hanasaki line for the Kiha 54, the others are mostly new with a bit of inspiration from the "blessings of hokkaido" wrappings of kiha 40. They look really nice! The Senmo main line and Hanasaki line wrappings are planned to debut on October 30.

 

There are also plans for 4 more trains to be wrapped for the Nemuro main line, Muroran main line, Hidaka main line and Soya main line.

This newly released TH2100 in Yuru Camp livery is very tempting given i watched and enjoyed the anime.

Unfortunately it's not in the Tohoku region that I told myself I'd stick to

Japanese railways love their mascots.  Sotetsu or the Sagami Railway mascot Sounyan is appearing in its tenth generation annual train wrap.

News coverage of the new train.   "Sonyan Train" will start operating on the Sotetsu Line and Sotetsu Izumi Line from March 27 (news on March 22, 2023)
