Product Description

──People who grew up in Kyushu have blue sashes! Naro 10, who belongs to Kagoshima!

[Actual vehicle introduction]
- The 10-series passenger cars, which took the world by storm with their revolutionary lightweight structure, saw their numbers increase dramatically and various derivative models were born.
- Nalo 10 is a second-class passenger car, of which 33 were manufactured from 1957.
- It had a wide, tapered body and deep roof similar to the third-class sleeping cars that had appeared the previous year, and the sides had 12 rows of single-level drop windows, which were common to the 10-series passenger cars, arranged in the same order as the seating arrangement, giving it an elegant appearance.From the start, it was released in the "Ao-taisho" color, with the expectation that it would be used on the Tsubame and Hato express trains, the highest-class trains at the time.
- The last five cars were originally completed in burgundy for the Asakaze service, but when the Hatsukari express service was introduced in 1958, they were changed to a blue No. 15 body with two thin cream No. 1 stripes wrapped around the waist, and their colorful appearance made them valuable performers during the heyday of passenger express trains.
- After express trains were replaced by electric and diesel railcars, the Nalo 10 was converted into passenger express trains.
- Nalo 10-23 was stationed at the Kagoshima Passenger and Freight Depot, and there are records of it being used on express trains directly to Honshu, such as Sakurajima, Takachiho, Kirishima, and Satsuma.
- Some carriages stood out with their aluminum sashes painted blue.
