History

One single car was converted in February 1986 from former Iyo Railway 100 series car MoHa 106, purchased in October 1985. This car was built in 1950 by Teikoku Sharyo as KuHa 405, and converted to become single-car MoHa 106 with an additional driving cab in 1961. The second driving cab was subsequently taken out of use and a gangway door added, but from 1967, the driving cab was reinstated, with the gangway door left in place. Conversion for use on the Choshi Electric Railway involved sealing the gangway in the later added cab end (at the Tokawa end), and replacement of the original Hitachi MIC bogies with Nippon Sharyo D-16 type bogies.
