2nd edition of 800 series? Remodelled front?

 

1st edition of the 800 series ... now w/LED headlights and a route-name sticker!

next up to receive the new / standard colors will be units 611/612 (formerly the red/green Sakamoto Cable Car colors) ... would be awesome if they'd release that livery along with the new one when the time comes

also ... in case y'all hadn't noticed ...

 

 

I'll miss the Biwako blue ... but I have always thought that this mix of colors looked really sharp on Keihan's local-service fleet

The new livery looks great on those 800s.
I was planning to get the microace set in the future ; now I'll be waiting for a new version to come out.

Did a 700 ever come with the old logo though?

As far as Tomytec models are concerned no, in real life though yes as the new logo dates from 2008.

Geomatrix released a set of dry-transfer markings w/the old logo (item K101)

OOS on HobbySearch but I've seen it listed online quite often (i.e. https://shopping.yahoo.co.jp/products/c01f8ad404 )

 

In addition ... YMProject offers a decal set w/this logo

they also sell other decals for use w/Keihan models as well as various parts

I have no idea what uso stands for, but some of the pictures with that tag are great.  Seems like they are shopped images, mostly into new paint schemes?

Uso (嘘) means 'lie' or 'false' in Japanese. As you already found out, this tag is used for photo shopping images into things that actually don't really exist.

yeah ... old liveries on new trains, new liveries on old trains, and the wrong liveries on the wrong trains ... some neat stuff

thread related ...

a number of people assumed (correctly) that this would happen

QQ folks ...

 

Approximately what year did Keihan switch from the old silver arrow icon thing to their actual name + flag logo? I've seen it as late as '08 ... but I can't remember when the actual shift took place.

 

Anyone know?

 

thx

It was definitely in 2008, I will see if I can find the month it was in the references I have used.

Here is one of the first photos I've come across showing 611F-612 (612 specifically) wearing the [new] standard corporate Keihan colors

As predicted by Katoftw late last year they have finally done it, no more hunting down the forever elusive Keihan Exclusive 80 series fitted with AC on Yahoo Auctions for near extortionate prices, now I have to figure what I want to do with the one I have should I leave it in original condition or decal it and weather it.
