The Шаблон:Nihongo is a replica of a J. G. Brill Company two-car deluxe coach operated as an excursion train by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) in Japan since August 2015.
Overview
Details of the planned excursion train, provisionally called the "Sweets Train", were first announced in January 2014.[1] The train entered service on 8 August 2015.[2][3]
The name "Sweets Train" derives from the sweets served on board. [4] They are designed and created in a Japanese-French style by Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa, who owns an eponymous restaurant (NARISAWA) in Tokyo.[5]
Design
The train is formed of two modified former KiHa 47 diesel cars, renumbered KiRoShi 47 9176 (car 1) and KiRoShi 47 3505 (car 2), and is intended to replicate the design and ambience of the luxury Brill coaches purchased by the Kyushu Railway in 1908. The purchase occurred just before the company was nationalized under the Railway Nationalization Act) and the cars were never put into service.[2][6]
The rebuilding project was overseen by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka, using scale models of the original coaches built by the railway modeller Nobutaro Hara.[3]
Operations
Between April and September, the train runs a daily round trip between Шаблон:STN and Шаблон:STN, and is intended for the revival of tourism and the local economy.[3]
The train runs a daily round trip from Sasebo to Nagasaki between July of one year to March of the following year, mostly on weekends.[7][4]
