Design

Like the four-car 3300 series trains, the 3150 series trains were based on the earlier 300 series trains, which were the first stainless steel body trains to be operated by Meitetsu, although whereas the 300 series trains had 20 m (65 ft 7 in) long cars with four pairs of sliding doors per side, the 3150 series have 19 m (62 ft 4 in) long cars and three pairs of sliding doors per side.[1]

Formations

As of 1 April 2015, 16 two-car sets were in operation, formed as shown below, with one driving motored ("Mc") car and one non-powered driving trailer ("Tc") car.[2]

Designation TcMc
Numbering 31503250

  • The "Mc" car is fitted with one single-arm pantograph.[2]
