[Product introduction]
- The E217 series was introduced in 1994 as a vehicle for the Yokosuka-Sobu Rapid Line.
- Until then, three-door commuter trains were the norm, but the E217 series, like the 209 series that appeared at the same time, features a four-door lightweight stainless steel body. The design of the high driver's cab with a crushable zone in the leading car was carried over to the E231-1000 series, E233 series, and E235 series that appeared later.
- When the equipment was updated in 2008, the color scheme of the stripes was changed and the yaw dampers on the bogies of the Green Cars were subsequently removed. These trains are still in service today along with their successors, the E235 series 1000 series.
- This product will be released in three sets: two sets that make up the basic formation and one set that consists of an additional formation.
- The bogies of the Green Cars, from which the yaw dampers have been removed, and the stroller markings are reproduced.
- Additionally, the blue and cream stripes will be changed to a color tone closer to the actual vehicle.
