However, it took as long as a month to reach Japan by sea via the Suez Canal and the Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific railroads. On June 10, 1913, the "Europe-Asia Trans Trans-Siberian Through Traffic" route was built, connecting Tokyo to Europe by rail via Shimonoseki, the Korean Peninsula, and the Trans-Siberian Railway. It was now possible to travel from Tokyo to Europe with a single ticket. A year before that, in June 1912, Japan's first "special express" train, the 1.2 train, started service between the former Shimbashi and Shimonoseki stations. This express train connected Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and Shimonoseki, the gateway to the continent at that time. Since these trains would be part of a fleet that could travel from Tokyo to the Korean Peninsula, China, and Europe, it was expected that many of the passengers would be dignitaries and foreigners. At the time, Japan was proud of its victory in the Russo-Japanese War and of its status as one of the great powers of the world. Therefore, this train was a symbol of Japan's prestige, and the facilities and decorations were quite luxurious. Although the international liaison service was temporarily suspended due to WW1, it restarted in 1927. The passenger cars were rebuilt for the latest steel coaches of the time. In 1928, the train was given the nickname "Fuji" for the first time in Japan, and became the flag ship train of Japan. Later, in 1934, the train was opened to working class people. As WW2 occured, it was gradually downgraded. Finally, by 1944, the trains were no longer connected to the superior class cars, and they were reduced to ordinary trains. *Bodies and wheel frames are made by card board. *Without interiors (we have a plan to produce in the future) *Without interior and tail lights *Couplers are used KATO's knuckle coupler or Arnold(please ask if you have a request) *Attached with bond for woodworking and sprey greu *We start building after you order because it's an order made item so it will take 2 or 3 months. *Locos aren't included in this set.
