KiHa 200 size for Greenmax power

Recommended Posts

Say I have this: http://www.greenmax.co.jp/Product/GM4215-4216_kiha200_hausutenbosu.htm   (sitting at my sister in laws)

 

What size GreenMax power unit do I need to be able to upgrade this with a motor?  Finding a reasonably priced 4215 (w/motor) does not seem feasible at the moment...

 

(It does seem to say that you can hook it up to the Seaside Liner, which I also have in both the M+T and T+T sets.)

 

I was not able to see which size the KiHa 200 series is.   I might also be interested in motorizing one of my 30527 from GreenMax (KiHa 200 NanoHana) though the 30526 motorized set is easier to find.

 

Thanks

I can't help with the motor question, but the set can be run with any of the modern Kyushu DMUs, so any 200 or 220 series.  Just make sure its a DMU with a shibada coupler rather than the knuckle coupler the older DMUs use.  I rode this set back from Nagasaki in 2015 with a red 220 series on the front end.

Cool, thanks.  I'll run them (HtB) with my red ones and the SSL...

 

I'll still want the info in case I want to upgrade the NanoHana cars, as they won't be in the Nagasaki line...
