Product Description
[Product Introduction]
THE ROYAL EXPRESS is a cruise train that debuted in 2017, connecting the Tokyo metropolitan area and Izu. It was created by modifying the Izu Kyuko 2100 series 5th generation train [Alpha Resort 21].
The exterior features a royal blue base with gold stripes and logos, while the interior uses plenty of warm, natural materials and glass to enhance the sense of openness, creating a classic space that is both nostalgic and modern, a journey of beauty and sparkle.
This is the result.
The train normally operates between Yokohama and Izukyu-Shimoda, with Tokyu Corporation managing the operation and the various companies operating on the section of the line handling the service.
Since 2020, the operating area has been expanded to include Hokkaido, Shikoku, and the Tokai region for a limited time. In the Hokkaido and Shikoku operations, cars 2, 3, and 7 have been omitted, shortening the train to 5 cars.
The train consists of six cars, including a power car, and is sometimes operated by a locomotive.
Unlike other cruise trains, a distinctive feature of this train is that it does not have accommodation facilities on the train cars themselves.
A new addition will be added to the KATO Cruise Train series.
We will be producing a model of the Izu Kyuko 2100 series, the "THE ROYAL EXPRESS," featuring a beautiful metallic royal blue body.
This model replicates the 'train specification' that operates in an 8-car formation.
You can enjoy this together with various other train products that operate on the Tokaido Main Line and Izukyu Line, such as the <10-1661S/1662 E261 series [Saphir Odoriko]>.
[Product features]
The product will be manufactured to reflect the specifications of the train as it will be in service as of 2026 (Reiwa 8).
The glossy royal blue body, the gold lettering, lines, and logo placed throughout, and the various decorations on the side windows are all faithfully reproduced.
This model replicates the configuration with a pantograph, a coupler on the driver's cab side of the leading car, and no underfloor equipment cover.
Recreating different window arrangements on both sides and individualized continuous windows.
The interior table lamps visible from the windows of cars 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the pianos installed inside cars 2, 5, 6, and 7 have been recreated.
Includes sheets that reproduce the paintings, curtains, and blinds visible inside the window.
Headlights, taillights, and fog lights illuminate (using warm white LEDs). The fog lights illuminate in yellow. The lights above the driver's cab do not illuminate, just like the real train.
The slotless motor ensures smooth and quiet operation.
The intermediate connecting sections are equipped with KATO close-coupling couplers (without hooks) as standard.
The book case and sleeve feature a special design.
