●The "Ginga" express train was a night express train that ran between Tokyo and Osaka from 1949 to 2008. The passenger cars used varied over time, but because it was a train that ran along a major artery, it was made up of first-class cars. Since 1976, it has used the 20 series, 14 series, and 24 series 25 type express sleeper cars, as well as the successive generations of Blue Train passenger cars, despite being an express train. While many express trains have been upgraded or abolished in later years, it continued to operate as a night express train with a formation consisting only of A and B sleeper cars.
◆This set allows you to enjoy the "Ginga" that was active as a passenger express train on the Tokaido Main Line until the end. We recommend the <3061-8 EF65 1000 late model (JR specification)><3061-9 EF65 1118 rainbow painted locomotive>, which are scheduled to be reproduced at the same time, as the locomotive.
