● Item Introduction

The Tora 45000 is a two-axle open freight car of the JNR type, with about 8,000 units mass-produced between 1961 and 1963. While many have been retired, some are still in use by JR companies today.

◆ Please note that Kato (Japan) will be making some specification changes, including adjustments to markings. As a result, the product number, price, and JAN code will be updated.
