Product description

The Izumo was one of Japan’s best-known overnight trains, linking Tokyo and Izumoshi via the Tokaido, Sanyo and Sanin lines. Its sleeper accommodation was much in demand. KATO models the train towards the end of its life around 2005, shortly before the conventional locomotive-hauled service ended in 2006. The unusual mixture of gold-striped sleepers and a silver-striped Orone 25 is particularly characteristic of this formation.
