Product Description

-- The myth of the country-pulling journey through the dream world! A composite sleeping car from Hoki Province!

[Actual vehicle introduction]
The 10-series passenger cars, which took the world by storm with their revolutionary lightweight structure, have spawned a variety of derivative series since the 1960s.
The Narohane 10 was introduced in 1958 as a combined second/third class sleeping car for the Chuo and Shinetsu lines, where there were constraints on traction constants on mountainous lines and where there was not as much demand for second-class sleeping cars as on main lines.
Unusually for a JNR passenger car, the carriage had an entrance platform in the center, with second- and third-class compartments at the front and rear, and this, combined with the sleek design of the 10-series passenger cars, attracted many fans.
In the 1960s, as the train was upgraded to a two-class service, it was renamed 1st/2nd class sleeping cars and its body colour was changed to Blue No. 15. After 1964, due to the increased weight of the trains as the 1st class compartments were fitted with air conditioning, it was renamed Ohane 10.
Groups 1 to 5, which had been active in the Shinetsu region, were taken out of service with the [Yon Santou] revision, but the following year the four cars other than group 2 were selected for the Sanin Main Line express [Sanbe] and transferred to Takeshita Passenger Car Depot, and the year after that they were transferred again to Yonago Passenger and Freight Car Depot and also used for the [Izumo] service.
The Ohane 10-4 was used as a spare car and was retired in 1973 without being fitted with air conditioning in all compartments.
