History[edit]
Background history[edit]
Semboku Rapid Railway first introduced the 3000 series largely based on the Nankai 6200 series in 1975. They were also the first trains in Semboku to include air conditioning. Following the introduction of the 7020 series, a handful of sets were scrapped from 2007 to 2008.
Following the reduction of 10-car trains on the Semboku Rapid Railway Line due to the timetable revision on 23 November 2012, a surplus of vehicles was generated.[1]
Transfer to Nankai Electric Railway[edit]
From December 2012 to 24 May 2013, 4-car set 3517 and 2-car set 3555 were sent to Chiyoda depot along the Nankai Koya Line for modifications to the operator's specifications. In addition, the cab equipment in middle cab cars 3518 and 3555 were removed, thus forming a semi-fixed 6-car train.[2] 4-car sets 3513 and 3515 followed suit on 10 May 2013,[3] completing modification work in August and September that same year respectively, and started test running on the Nankai Main Line thereafter.[4] Set 3517+3555 first entered service on the Nankai Main Line on 29 September 2013.[5]
Formations[edit]
As of 2014, the fleet consists of 14 vehicles formed as two 4-car sets (3513 and 3515) and one semi-permanently coupled 4+2-car set (3517+3555). The Tc1 car is at the Namba end.[6]
4-car sets[edit]
The 4-car sets are formed as shown below with two motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.
| Designation | Tc1 | M1 | M2 | Tc2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| KuHa 3515 | MoHa 3025 | MoHa 3026 | KuHa 3516 |
2+4-car set[edit]
The 2+4-car set is formed as shown below with four motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.
| Designation | Tc1 | M1 | M2 | Tc2 | Mc1 | Mc2 | |
