The express "Ginga" was a night express train that ran between Tokyo and Osaka from 1949 to 2008. The passenger cars used varied depending on the era, but because it was a train that ran along a major artery, it was made up of first-class cars, and since 1976, it has used express sleeper cars such as the 20 series, 14 series, and 24 series 25 type, as well as successive generations of Blue Train passenger cars, despite being an express train. While many express trains were upgraded or abolished in later years, it continued to operate as a night express train with a formation consisting only of A and B sleeping cars.

◆This set allows you to enjoy the "Ginga", which was active until the end as a passenger express on the Tokaido Main Line. 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.
