Tokyu 1000 series/Tokyu 1000-1500 series

The Tokyu 1000-1500 series, also known as the 1500 series, is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Tokyu Corporation since May 2014 on the Tokyu Ikegami and Tamagawa Lines.
==History==
The 1000-1500 series sets were designed to replace older sets such as the 7700 series sets on the Ikegami and Tamagawa Lines. These were formed from ex-Tōyoko Line 1000 series sets, which were removed from service on the Tōyoko Line when through running to the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line was suspended; these were rebuilt from 2014 to 2015 by J-TREC and Tokyu Techno System, with the first sets entering service on 10 May 2014. Two more sets were converted in 2016 and 2020 from 1000 series sets 1023 and 1024 and renumbered as such.
==Design==
The 1000-1500 series cars use a contemporary design featuring a flat front and a gangwayed door. Unlike the 1000 series cars these were converted from these sets feature the standard Ikegami and Tamagawa Line livery of two green bands around the car.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of stainless steel. The sets use Toshiba 2-level IGBT variable frequency drive traction systems which produce a wind-like sound; this is the same variable frequency drive as used on the 7000 series sets.
