Product Description

[Special feature: 30 years since its introduction: Series 223 and its friends]
- JR West 223 series is the main model of the Kansai Urban Network. The 0 series was introduced in 1994 to coincide with the opening of Kansai International Airport, and since then it has expanded its influence as the main model of suburban lines in the Kansai Keihanshin area, known as the "Urban Network," including the special rapid service.
- Even now that successor models such as the 225 series and derivative models suited to the routes they were introduced on have appeared, the train continues to play a key role.
- In this special feature, marking 30 years since the introduction of the actual vehicle, we will introduce in detail the outline and appeal of this model using both the actual vehicle and a model.
- We will introduce how to enjoy models and a number of high-quality works.
