the taki20500 was a series of jrf special tank cars built in the early 1970s by nippon sharyo....with a stainless steel body, these taki were designed to carry carbolic acid; they had a carrying capacity of 35t with a top speed of 75 kph....they remained in jrf service until 2003.

i acquired these two taki from a private party in japan.....they are in excellent condition...the wheel sets are clean.

the livery on this model belongs to the mitsui toatsu chemical corporation.......
