This issue features the last run of the Blue Train "Akebono" before its regular service was discontinued on March 14, 2014. I purchased this item as a data source for N gauge models. There are a few small scratches, but it is in good condition. The following is a quote from the web about the feature.
"The Blue Train "Akebono" will end its regular service with the March 2014 timetable revision. To commemorate this occasion, we have three articles featuring this disappearing train.
The first article is a solo ride report. Over two nights, I rode the "Akebono" in its two types of private rooms, Solo and Single Deluxe, and recorded the details of the soon-to-be-extinct private rooms and their parts. - Bigun Nao
The second article is a historical overview of the train from its inception to the present day.
The third article is about the 20 series. The "Akebono" used 20 series cars until 1980 and was the last express train to do so. We have re-examined the popular 20 series cars and provided a detailed explanation of the vehicles.
