Description
KATO has commercialized a passenger car set that allows you to enjoy the night express trains of the JR era that connected major cities in Hokkaido.
The 14 series passenger car is a type manufactured from 1971, and the 500 series is a group that has been modified to be cold and snow resistant, such as converting the passenger door to a sliding door for use in Hokkaido. It was mainly used for sleeper express trains in Hokkaido, and was active on trains such as the Marimo (Sapporo to Kushiro), Taisetsu (Sapporo to Abashiri), and Rishiri (Sapporo to Wakkanai). Each train is composed of a combination of sleeping cars and seated cars, and in 1988, just after the transition to JR, in 1988, the distance between seats in reserved seat cars was widened as a countermeasure for intercity long-distance buses connecting the same section.
