JR Kiha 58 Series Diesel Car (Notoji Color) Set 92937 TOMIX Diesel Car
■ In order to improve the chronic deficit of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the JNR Reconstruction Law was passed by the Diet in the 1980s. When the privatization of JNR was decided, unique regional and line-specific colors were applied to Kiha 58 and Kiha 40 diesel cars used on local lines to promote the upcoming privatization. Until then, Kiha 58, which had the JNR diesel express color scheme from Tohoku in the north to Kyushu in the south, and Kiha 40, which was painted entirely in vermilion No. 5, began to be painted in flashy colors specific to regions and lines. This continued even after the privatization of JNR. Previously, JNR had strict regulations for painting railway vehicles, with specific approved paint schemes. Kiha 58 used for express trains could not fundamentally be repainted in colors other than the JNR diesel express color scheme of Cream No. 1 and Red No. 11, or the school excursion color scheme for the 800 series. With the abolition of these painting regulations in the late JNR era, unique colors emerged based on lines and regions, and after privatization, based on companies. The Notoji color was a dedicated paint scheme applied to the Kiha 58 series used for the "Notoji" express train connecting Kanazawa and Wajima, starting around 1990. This was one of the few diesel express trains that survived the significant reduction of express services in the 1980s, but it was discontinued in 2002.
