1920s (ish) rolling stock?

[pikablob]

Hi! Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm very new to this - I've picked up a couple of the KATO 9600s (TBH, they're the reason I got into N gauge - apparently they're an old tooling? Could've fooled me XD) and I'm trying to assemble some rakes for them. I know IRL they lasted until the 70s, and were almost entirely freight locomotives, but I generally model the early interwar years and I'd like to have a mixture of passenger and freight stock (ideally one will be running passenger service and the other will get some goods wagons) so I wanted to ask what's available RTR? Even the coaches described as "old time" by KATO look quite modern to me - I haven't looked deeply into other manufacturers yet. Open to any suggestions and thanks for the help! :))

There are other cars like the 60 series which were postwar rebuilds of old rolling stock.

The Oha 35 series is one of the typical passenger cars of the era when the steam locomotive was still the protagonist of the railroad.                         

 

It is characterized by a roof which is called "[roof roof]" with its both ends narrowed down roundly, which is common to passenger cars ahead of generation, such as Suha 43 series, before entering the Showa period, before war.

 

In addition, the Oha 35 series was epochal making it the first window of [wide windows] in terms of ordinary passenger car, because it corresponds to a box seat of four people, it became a window of 1000 mm width.
