10-1998 24 Series Sleeping car “Ginga” 9-Car Set
The "Ginga" was a night express train that connected Tokyo and Osaka from 1949 to 2008. Although the passenger cars used
changed over time, the train was always composed of premium cars due to its important role on this major route. From 1976
onward, despite being an express train, it used deluxe sleeper cars of the 20, 14, and 24 Series types. In later years, while many
express trains were upgraded or discontinued, the "Ginga" continued to operate as a night express with only A and B sleeping
cars until the end.
This set lets you enjoy the "Ginga," which was the last passenger car express train to operate on the Tokaido Main Line. For
the best experience, we recommend pairing it with the newly re-released <3061-8 EF65 1000 Late Stage (JR)> and <3061-9
Electric Locomotive EF65 1118 Rainbow> locomotives.
