Product Description
--The 500 series, scheduled to retire in 2027. A reproduction of the impressive 16-car Nozomi train that operated at speeds of 300 km/h.
[Product Introduction]
We will be reproducing the 500 Series Shinkansen, which achieved a top speed of 300 km/h in commercial operation and remains highly popular due to its distinctive front design.
The 500 series, characterized by its aerodynamically superior design and sharp, dynamic form, began commercial operation at 300 km/h on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines in 1997 and served the Tokyo-Hakata route in just over four hours until March 2010.
Subsequently, the train underwent modifications to shorten it to an 8-car formation and operated as a "Kodama" service on the Sanyo Shinkansen line, but it has been announced that it will be retired in 2027.
We will be reproducing the 500 Series Shinkansen, which remains highly popular, in its heyday specifications when it was active as the "Nozomi" service.
Enjoy the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines of the 2000s, along with the 923-3000 series "Doctor Yellow" and the 300 series Shinkansen "Nozomi".
The price and JAN code will be changed for this product.
