The actual car that this mod was modeled after.
A fixed-unit sleeping car that debuted in Japan in 1958 and is known by the nickname "Blue Train".
It was operated as a sleeping train for distances ranging from several hundred to one thousand kilometers, and consisted mainly of 2nd and 3rd class sleeping cars, with a dining car (NASHI 20) and 2nd class seating car (NARO 20).
These cars were used for superior trains and operated as limited expresses and express trains.
The nature of the routes on which the locomotives traveled varied, and the need to replace different locomotives on AC-current and DC-current routes, straits, and non-electrified termini made having a separate electric power car from the locomotive a unique feature of the train's organization. The Passenger Car Service Electricity Generator cars have two diesel power generation systems to provide power to the passenger cars.
Bogies, MANI 20 has TR54 and the other cars have TR55B.
