Kato N gauge JR 201 series (Chuo Line)

カトー201系(中央線)

Reference

Detail

This set was produced in 1997 and comes with directional lighting (non-LED), diamond pantographs, blackened wheels and fitted corridor connectors.

The accompanying explanation sheet doesn't indicate what state of the prototype the model represents, but certainly some time between 1987 (when JR came into being) and the model's production date. The train code marker stickers are of the newer digital style. The presence of a "skirt" indicates a date between ca. 1993 and 1996, when these were added (source: http://jnr201.web.fc2.com/saibu/zenmen/skirt.html).
