Product Description
--Train mark [Hokutosei] included! Reproduces the appearance of JR 24 series 25 type express sleeper car after 2011
[Actual vehicle guide]
The Hokutosei is a sleeper express train that ran between Ueno and Sapporo after the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in 1988, and boasts luxurious facilities such as private sleeping compartments and lounge cars.
When the Hokutosei was reduced to one round trip in March 2008, the cars used were changed so that cars 1-6 were owned by JR Hokkaido, and cars 7-11 and the power car were owned by JR East.
From February 2011, in order to secure spare cars, the No. 2 car was changed to an open B-class sleeping car, and the distinctive-looking Ohanfu 24-500 type was mainly used.
With the timetable change in March 2015, regular service of the Hokutosei ended, and from then until August, special trains were operated only with vehicles owned by JR East, so mixed trains were not operated until the same time.
