Description

 - Series OHA 35 represents one of the most iconic prewar passenger coach types of Japanese National Railways, with more than 2,000 units produced — the largest number for any domestic coach series.
 - Introduced in 1938 (Showa 13) with a hipped-end and rounded roof profile, 1-meter wide passenger windows, TR23 bogies, and a welded-heavy structure.
 - Production paused in 1942 and resumed after the war, when material shortages and evolving construction methods produced a distinct “postwar” form.
 - Later production adopted the TR34 bogie, an improved domestic roller bearing version developed from the TR23 plain bearing design.
 - Widely deployed nationwide, these coaches served on everything from express to local trains.

- Compatible with interior lighting kit Kato 11-211 (11-213)
