Build details
[edit]1st batch
[edit]As with the similar Kobe Line 1010 series sets, the 1100 series sets were built from 1956 onward, consisting of two-car sets formed of one motored car and one non-powered trailer car, with cars numbered 1100 to 1103 and 1150 to 1153.[1]
2nd batch
[edit]The second batch appeared in 1957, consisting of eight cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets), numbered 1104 to 1107 and 1154 to 1157.[1]
3rd batch
[edit]The third batch appeared in 1958, consisting of eight cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets), numbered 1108 to 1111 and 1158 to 1161. These sets differed from earlier batches in having three doors per side instead of the earlier two.[1]
4th batch
[edit]The fourth batch appeared in 1959, consisting of twelve cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets plus four motor (Mc) cars), numbered 1112 to 1115, 1162 to 1165, and 1140 to 1143. These all had three doors per side.[1]
5th batch
[edit]The fifth batch appeared in 1960, consisting of a further five driving motor trailer (Mc) cars, numbered 1144 to 1148. These cars had three doors per side.[1]
6th batch
[edit]The sixth batch appeared in 1961, consisting of six driving trailer (Tc) cars, numbered 1190 to 1195.
Later developments
[edit]Some of the 1100 series cars were retrofitted with roof-mounted air-conditioning between 1976 and 1977.[1]
Withdrawal and resale
[edit]
The 1100 series cars were withdrawn between 1984 and 1991.[1] One four-car set was sold to the Nose Electric Railway, classified as 1000 series.[1]
