the shiki1000 is heavy duty freight car built by nippon sharyo for the then JNR and designed to carry large loads in a low riding position at the normal freight train operating speed pf 75 kph........3 wagons were constructed in the late 1970s with load capacity of 55 tons; unladen weight of the wagon is 51 tons....... major power transformer manufacturers of the japanese electrical industry are the typical load providers as the cars are still in service......... the tomix 93565 set was only available at the 59th all japan model hobby show held in september 2019; road numbers are differentiated on the 3 wagons - 1000, 1001, and 1002....i was fortunate to acquire 2 sets in a recent transaction - one of which i listed as a complete set and which, as yet, only attracts tepid interest......therefore, i decided to sell the second set as individual wagons........this listing is for the shiki1000 with road number 100101 and may be of interest to those who already own the tomix 2773 shiki1000 which has road number 100201..... as a new owner will be acquiring only a portion of a set, the packaging will not include the outer paperboard box which has the set identification and assembly instruction for the transformer loads......however, the individual wagons are secure in a lexan jewel case - better storage than the tomix 2773 paperboard package design......i have included a photo of the aforementioned instructions in the listing...... as the tomix 93565 set was never offered for general resale, few photos exist of the three wagons.......most of the listing photos are of the 100201 road number.....the last photo shows the 100101 road number in its lexan case....... see this link for a great video of shiki1000s towed by eh200: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9Asj5iJWbc \
