Imperial Train Passenger Cars

[gerryo]

Can someone tell me which Passenger Cars were used behind the Imperial JNR C57 Steam Loco?

 

I want to have a steam train on my display so need to produce it correctly.  This is Z scale so has to be right the first time.

As far as I can see, there is nothing appropriate to run with the Rokuhan T027-3 C57 1.

 

C57 1 was the Imperial Locomotive for a short time in 1972, so the appropriate N Gauge set is Kato 10-853 Kato or possibly Micro Ace A4721. 

 

SHIGEMON on Youtube has run his with the Rokuhan T014-4 Moka Railway Series 50 cars, which doesn't look too bad.

 

My Rokuhan C57 1 will arrive next week, and I plan to run mine with the PRMLOCO 3010 SUHA43 6-car set, which will probably be a good approximation, but not prototypically correct.

Thanx, VJM, for the response.  I think the Rokuhan T014-4 will be OK with the red stripe changed to silver or white.
