Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) Coloring Pages

The Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) runs far across Kanto

Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) is a railway company with tracks stretching from Tokyo into Saitama, Chiba, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures.
Adding up all the tracks makes it over 460 km long! That is the longest among all private railways in the Kanto region.
Commuter trains, as well as limited express trains heading to Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen, leave from Asakusa Station and Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo.
Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) also runs right next to TOKYO SKYTREE!

TOJO LINE SERIES 50090 of the Tobu Line (Tobu Railway)

The first coloring page is the 50090 series on the Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) Tojo Line, which connects Ikebukuro Station and Yorii Station in Saitama Prefecture.
The silver body has a bright orange bottom half on the front, right?
The 50090 series is a train where you can change the direction of the seats.
Usually, long bench seats run along the windows, but when it becomes the paid reserved-seat train "TJ Liner" for a comfortable ride home, the seats spin around to face forward!

Snow-White Limited Express SPACIA X (Tobu Line (Tobu Railway))

The second one is the limited express "SPACIA X" (Series N100) running around a curve in the forest.
It is the newest limited express of Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) that started running on July 15, 2023.
It runs from Asakusa Station to Nikko and Kinugawa-Onsen.
The front is covered with large glass, and the side windows of the front car have a pattern made of hexagon shapes.
This pattern comes from "Kanuma Kumiko," a traditional wooden craft passed down in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture.

Revaty waiting to depart at the station

The third one is the "Revaty" (500 series) limited express train stopped at the station platform.
This limited express train started running in 2017, and it comes in a set of 3 cars.
Since 3-car sets can be connected or disconnected, the train can split into 2 at a station along the way and head to different destinations!
The big black glass on the front and the coupler sticking out are the special marks on Revaty's face.

Let's compare the faces of the 3 Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) trains!

The 50090 series has a flat face with wide lights, the SPACIA X has a face covered by big glass, and the Revaty has a face with a coupler sticking out from inside the black glass.
Even among trains on the same Tobu Line (Tobu Railway), commuter trains and limited express trains have totally different face shapes.
Let's also compare the shape of the lights and the number of windshield wipers!

Use Orange as the Main Color for the 50090 Series

On the 1st sheet, color the bottom half of the front of the 50090 Series in orange.
If you color the big glass on the top half dark gray or dark blue, the orange will really pop!
The sides of the train are silver, so color them lightly with light gray and leave some white paper showing. That makes it look super shiny!

Color Only the Shadows for the White Limited Express

On the 2nd sheet, SPACIA X has a pure white train body.
Don't color the whole thing! Just add a little light gray or light light-blue to the lower part and bottom edges. It will make the white train look 3D!
For the forest behind it, layer yellow-green and dark green. Change the colors for each bunch of leaves to make a lush, rich forest.

Add Blue-Green Stripes for Revaty

On the 3rd sheet, Revaty has a slightly golden-white body with blue-green around the windows.
Try coloring the body light cream, and color around the windows blue-green!
If you color the sky light blue and the mountains bluish-green, they will look just like mountains far away.
Color the tactile paving blocks on the station platform yellow.

The Tracks and Surrounding Scenery

Color the rails brown or dark brown, the ties gray or brown, and the track stones gray. That will make them look like real tracks!
Leave white spots on the track stones here and there to make them look bumpy.
Color the overhead line poles dark gray.
When you finish coloring, step back a little bit and look at your whole picture!

The special seats at the very front of SPACIA X

The first and last cars of SPACIA X have special seats where you can look out the scenery through the big windows behind the driver's seat.
Car No. 6 is a big private room called the "Cockpit Suite" that you can use with your family or friends.
Car No. 1 on the other side is the "Cockpit Lounge," which has sofa seats and a cafe counter where you can buy drinks.

Tokyo Skytree and Tobu Line (Tobu Railway)

Tokyo Skytree is a tower built by the Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) group.
At the foot of Skytree is "Tokyo Skytree Station," where Tobu Line (Tobu Railway) trains stop.
For Tokyo's private railway trains, we also have a Odakyu Line coloring page, so let's compare them!

Go to Nikko, a World Heritage site, by limited express

In Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, where SPACIA X and Revaty go, there are shrines and temples like Nikko Toshogu.
These became a World Heritage site in 1999 as the "Shrines and Temples of Nikko."
At Nikko Toshogu, there is a carving of the Three Wise Monkeys: "See no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil."
If you take a limited express train from Asakusa Station, you can go all the way to Nikko without changing trains!
