Description

This 6-car set recreates the mail and luggage trains that carried post and parcels on the Tohoku Main Line during the JNR era, when rail still handled a large share of parcel and postal traffic.

It makes an excellent companion for JNR electric locomotives such as EF56 and EF57, and gives a layout a very different traffic flow from ordinary passenger or freight trains.

Features

• 6-car mail/luggage train set for Tohoku Main Line style operation.
• Includes a mix of postal and baggage stock, with different vehicle forms represented.
• Suitable for use behind EF56, EF57 and other JNR-era locomotives.
• Coach-only set - no motor car is included.
• Compatible with KATO interior lighting kits 11-211 / 11-212 and warm white 11-213 / 11-214 where appropriate.
• Useful for recreating parcel, mail and baggage traffic rather than a standard passenger formation.
