Since there was a press exhibition that allows you to see the contents of the exhibition ahead of the event, I have photographed valuable crafts and fabrics.

The duration of the session is divided into three, and we photographed this time in the first stage. It seems that it has become a fairly enthusiastic event because it is the 3 rd anniversary project of the railway museum, such as exhibiting a total of 130 craft items for the full term.

Pictures of the inside of the car and photos of the locomotives actually used were from the following.Railway Museum - THE RAILWAY MUSEUM -

Arrived at the train museum station. There is a big announcement on the wall inside the station premises "fee car - unknown art piece".


The appeal of the exhibition is enormous, such as a lot of banners dropping also in a short passage from the station to the railway museum.


There is also a banner and a stand in front of the entrance. It is still before the exhibition, this day was a press exhibition to the last, I feel like the railroad museum seriously like this spirit.



Exhibits are also printed on the panel outside the venue.


Then, I will infiltrate the exhibition venue, the inside of the exhibition. The exhibition is conscientious as we can pay even without admission fee of the railroad museum without additional fee.


The first chapter is "history of cars"


The flag which was noticed immediately after entering the venue was attached to the front of the Ron Fukuoka calling train to Kitami Kamakura when the Norwegian king and his wife came to Japan on March 26, 2001.



The photographs of the calling train when the King and the Norwegian came to Japan.


"Tokyo Shiodome Railway Operation Festival Diagram" depicts the state of Japan's first railroad operated between Shinbashi and Yokohama. At this time, a toll car was not yet made, but you can see that the car is decorated for royalty.


Changes in cars are illustrated.


From here, it is an exhibition of equipment for the local locomotive. This is a one-letter expression "Tabata Tectonic Zone (present Tabata Operator)", "Tokyo Agency Ward (vehicle base of the Tokaido Main Line, now abolished)" indicating the affiliation of the locomotive Business ticket.


The locomotive car numbering character (EF 58 60) which was often towing the calling train. The main body was dismantled on May 18, 1983, but since he was working for the towing of the calling train frequently while he was active, it was said that this cut character on the front of the vehicle was saved as a memorial.


A work tag attached to the side of the locomotive that tows the calling train.


This is a "Tiger reserve" working ticket. It is for identifying the calling train which is running as a spare for the emergency.


This is a messenger train exclusive version of the thing which was used until about the middle of the Meiji era when there was no communication means such as a telephone, saying a message for souvenirs. It is used to communicate with the station and the vehicle, it seems that he used a sandbag with a message attached to the station.


The calling train is not necessarily a thing made exclusively for the royal family (= car) but a train that the royal family boards is called a train called a train, so even if the royal family gets into a general train, The train is called "calling train". This is a signboard that was used when the royal family got into the general train, and it is said that it was used in the black 49 shape which was mainly driven by the Yokosuka line.

While the Heisei and entering the calling train were reduced than before, the photographs of the Emperor and Empress 'Emperor and Empress' s get on the train were also taken and various images were taken and it was exhibited.


From here on, the second chapter "The Meiji, Taisho, and Showa's Opportunities". The throne is a room with a seat for a throne or a noble, and it is said to be the most gorgeous interior in a toll car. This is a duplicate of the door that goes from the throne to the next room in No. 1 charge car (first generation). The pattern of "Kaku Nearby Tachibana" is drawn with the sparrow, it seems that embroidery has been applied to flower and fruit, part of trunk, and sparrow.




Reproduction section of the Officer of No. 7 charge car. The No. 7 car is permanently displayed at the railway museum, but since there are parts different from the design at the time of manufacture, this time it is reproduced in a condition closer to the time of production than this time. The nail hiding is close to the state of the time considerably, such as the one kept by JR East and the imitation made based on it, and using it.






Sword which was put by side.


Model 2 car (first generation) inside model. This car is based on the vehicle imported from Germany as Kyushu Railway as a noble car, and it is said that the Kyushu Railway had been remodeled interior when Kyushu needed a toll car. Therefore there is a European atmosphere compared with other toy cars.



A few valuable photos inside the throne of the toll car were also exhibited.


This is the model of the present place of the present No. 1 charge car. It is a type that draws a line from the car that has been subjected to a variety of patterns until then, but it is simple but draws a velvet and rhomboid lattice on the wall of the window, and the lattice type of the ceiling lamp also matches with it It is designed to.
