● Item Introduction

The overnight express trains "Sanbe," "Kaimon," and "Nichi-nan" were iconic during the 1970s, operating in Kyushu and Sanin. These trains featured a distinctive composition of 20 series sleeping cars, 12 series express cars, and mail/baggage cars. The 20 series sleeping cars were modified to accommodate power sources for coupling with the 12 series, designated as the 1000 and 2000 series.

◆ Combining these with the reissued 10-1550, 5302, and 5304 12 series express cars allows for a complete formation. Particularly with "Nichi-nan," various configurations of the 12 series are available, providing options to suit your preferences. For traction, 7008-N DD51 Late Stage (for warm regions) is recommended for the "Sanbe" express, while the 3013-4 ED76 0 Late Stage is recommended for the "Kaimon" and "Nichi-nan" expresses."
