Upgrading the Hibiya Line fleet (and minor lines too).
By the mid-80s, while Tokyu railway's two mainlines (the Toyoko and Denentoshi lines) had relatively modern rolling stock, the roster for Hibiya Line trough-services wasn't really changed since the early '60, when trough-services first began. This reflected the situation on the Hibiya Line as a whole, with TRTA and Tobu still running 3000 and 2000 Series train respectively, togheter with Tokyu's 7000 Series, all of wich were designs of the early 1960s.
Therefore, in 1988, each of the three companies put foward it's own design to replace it's own part of the Hibiya Line fleet. TRTA was the first with it's 03 Series (based on the earlier 01 and 05 Series of the Ginza and Tozai Lines) wich entered service in the same year, followed by the 20000 Series of Tobu railway shortly after, and finally Tokyu, with it's 1000 Series.
A cheaped-out train... with a surprise up it's sleeve.
To contain costs (and time), the 1000 Series was very closely based on the 20m-long 9000 Series for the Toyoko and Oimachi lines introduced in 1986: it was essentially a
shortened-to-18m-with-three-doors-instead-of-four version of the former.
Depsite all the cost-cutting and "cheaping out" mesaures, Tokyu's 1000 Series had an advantage over the two other Hibiya Line "new trains": while designed in the same year the TRTA 3000s and Tobu 20000s were equipped with a chopper traction control, wich was up-to-date in the 1980s, but was about to be made obsolete by the brand-new inverter traction control, wich was already in use on Tokyu's 9000 Series and was therefore inherited by the 1000 Series.
Of the GTO-VVVF type and manufactured by Tokyo Denki, it's distinctive "screaming" sound is a fetaure of the 1000 Series.
The first 1000 Series trains entered service in 1991, formed as 8-car sets and used both on inter-running or above-ground only duties on the Toyoko Line. Some sets were also formed as 4+4 car ones, with the two central KuHa cars being of the symmetrical walk-trough type (rather than the 1000's asymmetrical cab), this was made so in case of necessity, an 8-car set could be temporarily split and transferred to other lines.
Depsite it's main purpose being that of an inter-running train, a few 1000 Series trains formed in 3-car sets were also introduced on the Ikegami line in 1993, to replace the 3000 Series and it's variants of pre-war design, but this mesaure was relatively costly, so Tokyu choose to refurbish and convert to inverter control some of the displaced 7000 Series trains. Re-named "7700 Series", they entered service in 1987, replacing all of the pre-1960s stock by the mid-1990s.
One 4-car set (altough not part of the 4+4 sets) was also used provisionally on the Mekama Line* in 1991.
Replacing the 7000s.
In 2013 Tokyu abandoned inter-running services on the Hibiya Line in favour of the newly opened Fukutoshin Line. This resulted in a massive surplus of 1000 Series cars, of wich many were reformed into 3-car sets and transferred to the Ikegami and Tamagawa lines to replace the 7700 Series and the 7200 Series, wich were completely retired by 2018 and 2016 respectively.
Many of the former inter-running cars were refurbished starting from 2014: re-numbered "1000-1500 Series", their main modifications were the replacement of the inverter with an IGBT-VVVF type and the livery change from Tokyu's distinctive red to a dark green, similar to the one in use by the New 7000 Series train (wich ran on the same Ikegami and Tamagawa Lines).
In 2016, 1000 Series set No.17 was repainted into a blue-yellow revival livery, similar to the one carried by 3450 Series trains in the 1980s. Similarily, in November 2019, Set No.17 (wich uses walk-trough type KuHa cars) was repainted in an all-over green revival livery, also carried by 3450 Series trains. Both sets still operate with the two revival liveries as of today.
A bargain!
Depsite the replacement of the 7700s and of the 7200s, many of cars the 1000 Series were still surplus, so they ended up on the second-hand market.
With most third-sector railways' loading gauge not allowing 20m-long cars (and the scarcity of 18m cars), the sudden arrival of an almost brand new (some cars were less than 10 years old!) and relatively up-to-date meant that 1000 Series cars sold as fast as ice creams in an hot summer.
The fact that Tokyu also owned the factory where these trains were made (wich meant they could be adapted to the buyer's request at little to no cost) was also a key part in the 1000 Series' success on the second-hand market.
Replacing the 7000s (Again).
The first buyer of the 1000 Series was Ueda Electric Railway (a subsidiary of Tokyu itself), wich bought four 2-car sets converted from KuHa cars in 2008. Re-numbered (
not really) as the "1000 Series", they entered service in the same year, keeping Tokyu's red livery. Set No.4 was later repainted into a blue-white revival livery carried by older "Marumado" ("Circle Windows") MoHa 5250 Series trains (
wich, by the way, are avaible for trainz: keimei made them a while ago).
In 2015, Ueda Electric Railway bought another 2-car set (the "6000 Series") wich was converted from MoHa intermediate cars. Both the 1000 and the 6000 Series were used to replace the older 7200 Series trains (also second-hand from Tokyu), wich were completely retired by 2018. As a "side effect" of this, Ueda Electric Railway now is one of the very few (if not the only) rural railway with an all inverter-controlled fleet.
In 2009, the Iga Railway also bought five 2-car sets, renamed "200 Series", they entered service in the same year.
I'm sorry i couldn't make these ones, but their "Ninja" livery (Mie prefecture, where the railway is located is famous for it's Ninja tradition) is too complex. As soon as i'll found adequate reference images (for the sides) i'll make them.
On the shores of Lake Shinji.
The Ichibata Electric Railway bought two 2-car sets converted from MoHa cars in 2014. Re-named the "1000 Series" and repainted into a full-orange (with a white line) livery, they entered service in the same year on the railway's two lines, replacing a pair of 3000 Series sets (former Nankai 21000 Series trains of 1958 vintage) sets.
Replacing the 7000s (AGAIN).
The last company to buy second-hand 1000 Series cars was Fukushima Kotsu (it's mainly a bus company but it also operates the iizaka railway line in Fukushima city), wich acquired four 2-car sets and two 3-car sets in 2016 (all of them were converted from MoHa intermediate cars). Re-numbered (you guessed it) "1000 Series", they entered service in 2017 to replace the 7000 Series (
an ex-Tokyu 7000 Series too), with all 7000s being retired in 2019 (except one set being kept as spare or for events).
