Nankai 12000 series

[miyakoji]

Nankai is taking delivery of some new 12000 series cars.  They remind me somewhat of JR West 223/225 series, although almost certainly not related, coming form Tokyu Car.  New car smell!

Nice route map.

 

Hopefully I've got the cash for a full set when Greenmax/Micro Ace releases the model.

Yeah, hadn't noticed that.  The whole design/livery is quite nice, I think.  So, Ompuchaneru has unblocked you?

...Nice route map...

 

Heh, quite simple... but Nankai have hard-liveried this for the 'Southern' Service: Namba to Wakayama.

 

Meanwhile, there's even a wikipedia page on it already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nankai_12000_series

 

And of interest:

The new trains will feature "Plasmacluster" air-purification technology developed by Sharp Corporation, representing the first use in a private operator (i.e. non-JR) train in Japan.

Passenger seats will be 460 mm wide, 25 mm wider than in previous trains, and AC power outlets will be provided.

 

Note that the train has "SOUTHERN Premium" on the side.

You know, I had completely forgotten about that.

 

Seems unlikely, I've moved twice since then so I've been on completely different IPs/ISPs.
