[Leader 10 series passenger cars for weight reduction]
-The weight reduction of passenger cars increases the towing capacity of locomotives, leading to speedups, and there are great benefits such as favorable influence on railways, but JNR pays attention to European technology after the war and introduces it to make it lighter I decided to make a passenger car.
-In 1955, the first appearance was the prototype of the third-class sleeper Naha type 10 and the basic seat car Naha 10 that were expected to be active at that time, and the corrugated plate called the keystone plate on the floor plate The oval frame in the underframe is omitted, and the body made up of steel plates up to the roof is integrally welded with a semi-monocoque body. It was a thing.
-In particular, the full-bodied wide body with the inner body sash of Nakane was widely used in the subsequent trains, trains, and passenger cars. Of the four kits in this kit, the Naha 10 is a mass-produced model that has eliminated the folding doors of the deck and replaced it with a normal hinged door. ] Low roof air-cooled version, Suhane 16 is the type after the cooler installation of the second-class sleeper car originally produced as Ohne 17. Only this ohane is a semi-new car that uses the frame of the old model car, and the truck also uses the Suha 43 TR-47, so it is considerably heavier than others.
[A modified luggage car mani 37 with a different taste]

The first feature is the floor structure. In order to support pallet transportation, it has a flat floor surface without floor rails, and has a bracket to fix the pallet (loading platform with casters).
-Since it is combined with express trains (especially those in the 200 series can be combined with the latest 14 series. Refer to the instruction manual), all cars are painted blue 15 and this is also different in old luggage vehicles.

In addition, some Mani 37 were modified from Suha 32 before the war as heresy cars, and this can be reproduced by painting the round roof mani 36 of the GM kit in blue.
