Draft:Nankai 7100 series

The Nankai 7100 series (南海7100系) is a electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nankai Electric Railway in Japan since 1969.

Design
While the design is based on the earlier 7000 series, this series differs from the 7000 series in having double doors instead of single-leaf ones and having air-conditioning from the time it entered service (2nd batch onwards).

Formations
The trainsets are formed as follows. The "MoHa 7100" car is at the Osaka-Namba end.

History
The 7100 series trains were first introduced on the Nankai Main Line in 1969. By 1973, a total of 162 vehicles were built.

From 1999 to 2003, the entire first batch of 9 4-car sets was scrapped by July 2003 due to the introduction of the 1000 series.

As of 2024, only 62 vehicles remain in fleet.
