Description: the 2 axle freight wagon was the fundamental rolling stock of the JNR freight service from the 1920s through the 1980s......even after the devastation of WWll, 40000+ of the ubiquitous carriers were constructed and remained in service until the containerization revolution forced obsolescence.......fundamentally, most of these wagons had a maximum operating speed of 75 kph while carrying a maximum load of 15 tons.......every major JNR fabrication partner participated in the post WWll rebuild - kawasaki, nippon sharyo, mitsubishi, hitachi.........the yo5000 was a brake van design modified from yo3500 wagons to enable 85 kph operating speeds on the mail line haul between osaka and tokyo.....100 wagons were reconfigured in the early 1962 by the JNR internal manufacturing plant at omiya........obsolescence coincided with the containerization revolution of the mid 1980s...... the accessory for this wagon is a non functioning knuckle coupler for the deck end; a new owner will have to negotiate the installation utilizing instructions in japanese with pictures which are printed on the inside surface of the cardboard plastic box liner........ the model features led tail lights at both ends.........
