What have I bought?

[buckingham]

I have just secured a model from an ebay auction and it is beautiful :love10:

 

The loco is an EF510 Northern star.

The blue passenger coaches come in separate generic Kato plastic cases, but without ref. nos.

I am not sure what they are or in what order they should be configured.  I am guessing some sort of sleeper?

The nos. on the sides of the carriages are:

 

24-110 - this I assume would be the last carriage as it has lights and a destination plate

24-703

24-701

25-125

25-701

25-701

The last two are not the same even tho the same number on the side. 

One is many windowed with what looks like a corridor down one side and the other has 4 high level windows and less windows in the body

 

I have searched on line and get various sets but not one which matches mine.

 

Any ideas you clever folk?

It's the head mark of Sleeper Express Fuji.

 

As I don't know much Japanese all I could find is that these must be older 24 series sleeper cars.

I also found two catalogue numbers:

KATO 5040-1 for the OHaNe 24-703

KATO 5025-1 for the KaNi 24-110

"Fuji" :)

The EF510 northern star has nothing to do with the series 24 sleepers.

 

The "FUJI" serive ran between Toyko and Oita.  EF66, EF81-400 and ED67 were used.

Hokutosei?

Well, if you ignored the headmark on the coaches, that could easily be the budget way to do one, yeah
