Item N Scale KATO 8078-7 Ku5000 Automobile Transport Wagon Rare Tricolor Livery (Red / White / Blue) Japanese National Railways (JNR) Overview This is a rare tricolor-livery version of the Ku5000 automobile transport wagon, produced by KATO in N scale. The Ku5000 series was developed by Japanese National Railways (JNR) to transport newly manufactured automobiles efficiently across Japan. While most Ku5000 wagons appeared in standard industrial color schemes, this tricolor livery is highly distinctive and rarely seen, believed to represent a test, demonstration, or promotional paint scheme. Its bold red, white, and blue color combination makes it stand out immediately within any freight consist. Why This Model Is Special The tricolor livery is visually striking and uncommon among Japanese freight rolling stock Represents an experimental or promotional appearance, appealing to collectors Adds strong contrast and color balance to otherwise monotone freight trains Ideal as a highlight car in modern or late JNR-era layouts This model is especially attractive to collectors seeking unique variations beyond standard mass-production liveries. Model Details Finely molded open-frame structure characteristic of Ku5000 wagons Clean, sharp paint separation between red, white, and blue sections Accurate proportions and underframe detailing by KATO Designed to integrate seamlessly with other JNR freight cars Please refer to the photos for the installed coupler type.
