Product Description
--The Sanyo Shinkansen N700 series [Kodama] is now available as a product. The additional pantograph and the bellows with the cut-out top section are made with new molds!
[Product Introduction]
The N700 series 6000 series debuted in September 2025 to replace the 500 series and 700 series trains that had been mainly used for Kodama services on the Sanyo Shinkansen line.
The N700 series 5000 series (Small A) was shortened from a 16-car formation to an 8-car formation, and additional pantographs were added and some passenger windows were sealed off.
The livery retains the white body with blue stripes, and the former Green Cars are now used as reserved seating cars with the same seating arrangement.
As of February 2026, only the P4 train set, which was modified from the K4 train set, is currently in service, but a total of 10 more train sets are planned to be modified and put into service in the future.
The 8-car N700 series 6000 series, which has already begun service as the "Kodama" on the Sanyo Shinkansen, will soon make its appearance.
In addition to seeing the N700S and Doctor Yellow trains passing each other, one recommended way to enjoy this is to recreate the elevated and ground-level crossings and scenery along the line with the 225 series and 227 series trains and EF210-hauled freight trains that operate on the Sanyo Main Line, using dioramas and layouts.
