Description
Models in both large and small scales of Japanese National Railways (JNR) Series 151 streamlined electric trains, which worked limited expresses like Tsubame and Kodama on 1067mm-gauge lines from 1958 to 1986, are displayed together at the Railway Museum (鉄道博物館) in Saitama City. As the plaque almost out of frame shows, a 151 was the first narrow-gauge train to exceed 100 miles per hour when it reached 163 km/h on July 31, 1959.
