The trains have aluminium and steel car bodies. Steel-bodied trains had a cream and blue two-tone livery, and now carry an ivory livery with a black and red stripe. Most cars with aluminium bodies were unpainted with a red stripe. Aluminium cars which ran together with steel-bodied cars carried a livery. ==History==

The trains entered service in 1964, and were the recipient of the 1965 Laurel Prize. They are being gradually replaced by 6000 series trains. A special "Sayonara No. 3000" event was held for the withdrawal of set 3000 on November 23, 2017. The set, consisting of cars 3000, 3001 and 3600, entered service in 1965, followed by special runs on November 23, 2017. Cars 3001 and 3600 were removed from Higashi-Futami depot for scrapping in March 2018. Set 3030 was repainted into its original two-tone livery in 2019. It is scheduled to carry this livery until its planned withdrawal from service in 2021.
