Rail Pictorial October 1983 Issue No. 423 Feature: Kiha 82 Series This special issue delves deep into the Kiha 82 series diesel cars, which played a major role in expanding the non-electrified limited express network of Japanese National Railways (JNR) across the country. From the "Oozora" and "Okhotsk" that ran across the vast lands of Hokkaido, to the "Hakucho," the queen of the Japan Sea Main Line, and the "Matsukaze" on the Sanin Main Line, this issue looks back at their active appearances nationwide with abundant photos and detailed articles. The streamlined bonnet-style front shape and the long formations incorporating dining cars and Green Cars still captivate the hearts of many fans. The color pages at the beginning are filled with beautiful photos of the Kiha 82 series running through scenic landscapes. Furthermore, detailed explanations and drawings for each type, modification history, and formation tables are also included, making it a valuable resource for model making. Notably, the issue also features an article on the Meitetsu Kiha 8000 series, which operated as the limited express "Kita Alps" on JNR lines. You can catch a glimpse of valuable records from an era when private railway vehicles ran alongside JNR limited express trains. 1983 Denkisha Kenkyukai (Electric Vehicle Research Society) 138 pages A4 variant size Condition: This item is over 40 years old.
