Hi Super,
The Plarail Hiroshima livery Kiha 40 was released in June 2004 as part of the "Plaroad Basic Set A" which included a single car of this train.
I found the listing for the product above. The seller has written in the description that this is a modified train set. The modifications are:
1. Yellow wheels changed to grey wheels.
2. The second car is unmotorised. The Hiroshima Livery shell from an original motorised train is taken and combined with a non-motorised chassis from another Plarail Kiha 40 product.
Basically, the seller decided to make their own two-car set because there wasn't one available officially. They did this by buying two sets of the Hiroshima train and then converting one of them to a non-motorised carriage.
I hope this helps.
