Tokyu 7600 series

The Tokyu 7600 series was a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Tokyu Corporation from May 1986 to February 2015 on the Tokyu Tamagawa and Ikegami Lines.
==History==
The 7600 series sets were converted from old 7200 series sets by Tokyu Car Corporation from 1986 to 1990. The sets would receive updated technology and variable frequency drives. After conversion, the sets were originally put on the Tokyu Mekama Line (now the Meguro Line) with one six- and one three-car set; with the introduction of 7200 series sets on the Mekama Line the sets were broken up into three three-car sets and reassigned to the Ikegami Line.
The 7600 series sets were slowly replaced by the 7000 series sets starting 2007, with 7603 scrapped in 2010. When the 1000-1500 series sets were introduced on the Ikegami Line, 7602 was retired in 2014. In November 2014, the last remaining set, 7601, was operated in a "classic style" with its livery removed, thereby operating as a plain stainless steel set. Special events were held to commemorate the set's retirement in early February; the set made its last run on 10 February 2015 and was subsequently towed to Nagatsuta Depot in March the same year. No 7600 series cars have been preserved.
==Design==
The 7600 series cars used a contemporary design featuring a raked front and bottom-mounted headlights. The front featured a "diamond cut" design as described by Tokyu.
==Specifications==
The sets were converted from older Tokyu 7600 series cars from the 1960s, albeit with technical improvements. The sets used early-specification Tōyō Denki Seizō gate turn-off thyristor variable frequency drives which produced a low drone.
