Product Description
──A first-class sleeping car born after the war! The out-of-reach Myne 40!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
The Meine 40 was completed in 1948 as the first new sleeping car after the war, with 21 cars.
These were newly manufactured carriages that were converted for general use in response to the requirements of the occupying forces, and featured both private (compartmental) and Pullman-style (open) sleeping berths. They were also equipped with air conditioning, making them the most luxuriously appointed trains in the JNR fleet at the time, while also featuring rational design features such as a steel roof with no tapered ends and two-axle bogies.
It originally debuted as a first-class sleeping car with access platforms at both ends.
After undergoing the removal of one side of the entrance platform, downgrading in class and changing of designation, the train continued to be used as a top-class vehicle on the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines, as well as overnight express trains to Kyushu, until it was retired at the end of the 1960s.
The product is a first-class sleeping car, with a body color of grape-colored No. 1 and a class band indicating first class, cream-colored No. 2, with the class marking [I].
This is a reproduction of the vehicle that was first remodeled with a one-side entrance and interior modifications after the spring of 1955, after the decision was made to downgrade it to a second-class sleeping car.
