Product Description
──Reproduce the overnight express [Hakkoda] that was popular with travelers to Hokkaido! Slo62/Naha11 has a separate ventilator.
[Product Introduction]
The Hakkoda Express is a passenger express train that runs via the Tohoku Main Line and connects Ueno and Aomori.
It was introduced in 1961, and from the 1960s to the 1970s, it was the first night train to head towards the Tohoku region, departing from Ueno Station at 7pm, and provided easy connections to the Seikan Ferry from Aomori, connecting to Hokkaido.
After departing from Ueno, travelers would arrive at Wakkanai, Abashiri, or Obihiro the next day, so the train was popular with young travelers known as the "Crab Tribe" because of their style of carrying large backpacks.
Sleeping cars were added between Sendai and Aomori during the late night hours, and the train was also used as an express train, stopping frequently at cities in the Tohoku region.

[Product features]
The Tohoku Main Line night express train "Hakkoda." This is a reproduction of the train configuration after the March 1975 timetable revision, which was mainly composed of passenger cars.
The Wasaf 8000, the last train heading down the line, is equipped with a taillight (with a switch to turn it off) on the conductor's side.
The mail car Oyu 10 is a non-air-conditioned car, replicating the 2512 belonging to the Aomori Depot. The taillights on the conductor's side are lit (with a switch to turn them off).
Suhafu 42 (cars 9 and 11), which are the end of the train formation closer to Aomori, is equipped with a taillight on the conductor's side as standard (with a switch to turn it off).
The ventilators on the Slo62 and Naha11 models, which were previously integrated with the roof, are now represented as separate parts.
The roofs of the 10 series passenger cars (Naha, Sulo, Suhane, Oyu) are painted light gray, while the Suha 43 series (Suha, Suhafu) are painted dark gray.
The car number, type display, and destination sign on the side are printed (Express [Hakkoda] Aomori bound). Destination display stickers (Ueno/Sendai bound) are included.
The train ends are equipped with Arnold couplers, and the middle section is equipped with KATO N JP couplers. KATO knuckle couplers are also included for replacement.
One locomotive can be stored in the bookcase of the add-on set.
