The E26 series passenger car, which continues to play an active role as the "Cassiopeia Cruise", is now available. You can enjoy it in combination with various locomotives, including the 3066-F EF81 95 Rainbow Painted Machine, which will be released at the same time. In addition, by incorporating the 11-222 LED Interior Light Clear E26 Series 6 Car Set, which will be reproduced at the same time, you can recreate a more realistic and moody nighttime running scene.

We will release a 4-car formation and a 2-car formation that are active in the Sendai area. In addition to creating different sides for the 4-car formation that is not compatible with one-man operation and the 2-car formation that is compatible with one-man operation, we will update the skirt to a realistic shape. Each set includes a motor car, and you can enjoy a variety of combinations such as 2-car and 4-car single formations, as well as 2+2, +2+2, and 2+4.

SHINKANSEN-0
Since the Tokaido Shinkansen opened in 1964, the 0-series Shinkansen continued to be added to the fleet with minor changes until 1986. The new cars manufactured after 1981 were the final version, the 2000 series, of which a total of 309 cars were manufactured. The 2000 series is a group of cars with enlarged seat pitch based on the 1000 series, which has smaller side passenger windows. After the transition to JR, all cars were inherited by JR Central/JR West, and were retired in 2008.
