Build details

=1st batch=

As with the similar Kobe Line 1010 series sets, the 1100 series sets were built from 1956 onward, consisting of two-car sets formed of one motored car and one non-powered trailer car, with cars numbered 1100 to 1103 and 1150 to 1153.

=2nd batch=

The second batch appeared in 1957, consisting of eight cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets), numbered 1104 to 1107 and 1154 to 1157.

=3rd batch=

The third batch appeared in 1958, consisting of eight cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets), numbered 1108 to 1111 and 1158 to 1161. These sets differed from earlier batches in having three doors per side instead of the earlier two.

=4th batch=

The fourth batch appeared in 1959, consisting of twelve cars (two pairs of semi-permanently coupled 2-car sets plus four motor (Mc) cars), numbered 1112 to 1115, 1162 to 1165, and 1140 to 1143. These all had three doors per side.

=5th batch=

The fifth batch appeared in 1960, consisting of a further five driving motor trailer (Mc) cars, numbered 1144 to 1148. These cars had three doors per side.

=6th batch=

The sixth batch appeared in 1961, consisting of six driving trailer (Tc) cars, numbered 1190 to 1195.

Some of the 1100 series cars were retrofitted with roof-mounted air-conditioning between 1976 and 1977.
