Description

The Hoki 2500 was a 35-ton limestone hopper wagon, with 172 cars built between 1967 and 1969. It was mainly used for transporting crushed stone and limestone. Mixed Hoki 2500 and Hoki 9500 trains operated between Okutama on the Ome Line and Hamakawasaki on the Nambu Line and became familiar freight trains running through residential areas.

This lineup allows reproduction of limestone trains seen in the Kanto area. It can also be enjoyed with the previous 8066 Hoki 9500 Okutama Kogyo 2-car set. The Hoki 2500 2-car set is a reproduction; from this production, the price and JAN code have changed.
