bikkuri bahn Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Introduced in November of last year: One trainset (10105) repainted in the classic 5000 series Red Arrow livery. I like it better than the standard paint job. Looking into this type, I found out it utilizes electricals from retired 101 series units, which explains the old fashioned sound under load and the underfloor resistor banks. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment

bikkuri bahn Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 me too i like that. is there a reason for the paint change though ? To generate publicity. Yesterday's Asahi Shimbun evening edition even had an article about the "retro boom" in the railway industry, and one of the featured trains was this one. Link to comment
Mudkip Orange Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah, I'm digging the old school fluted aluminum look on new trains. Like the new Bredas LACMTA is buying for the Expo line... Link to comment
