Product Description
--Reproduce the 200 series K formation teamed up with the 400 series!
- The 200 series is a Shinkansen train developed for the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines that opened in 1982, and has an enhanced cold- and snow-resistant structure to withstand the climate in which it operates.
- The K formation, which was prepared for coupling with the Yamagata and Akita Shinkansen lines, had a coupling function installed in the leading car, the 222 series, closest to Morioka.
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The 200 series Shinkansen was introduced as a commercial train for the Tohoku Shinkansen, which opened in 1982.
- The 200 series is equipped with extensive cold and snow resistance equipment to cope with the snowy and cold weather of the local climate, ensuring stable operation during the winter.
- An aluminum body is used to prevent the weight from increasing due to the installation of various equipment.
- The ivory exterior is the same as the 0 series of the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen, but the color of the windows and bottom edges has been changed from blue to green, which is said to evoke the image of new buds after melting snow.
- The 200 series was originally based on a 12-car formation, but various formations were later made available with different carriages and numbers of cars to suit different applications. To coincide with the opening of the Yamagata Shinkansen, the K formation was introduced, which could be coupled with the 400 series.
- The front end of the 222 series train that is coupled with the other train is equipped with a coupler that can automatically couple and uncouple.
- The K formation, which was originally an 8-car formation, was rearranged again in 1998 to become a 10-car formation and the number of formations was increased.
- The K formation, which was introduced for coupling purposes, was subsequently subject to renewal, with some exceptions, and work was carried out in stages from 1999. Although the exterior, such as the front window and paintwork, changed, it continued to serve as the last formation in the 200 series Shinkansen family.
