683-2000 Series "Noto Kagaribi" 3-Car Set
Before the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Tsuruga in 2024, the Hokuriku Main Line was famous for its many limited express trains, including the Thunderbird and Shirakami. After 2024, these services shortened to Tsuruga, while the Noto Kagari-bi continues as the region’s sole conventional limited express.
This model features the 683 series 2000 subseries, currently running the Noto Kagari-bi service. It’s perfect for recreating pre-Shinkansen Thunderbird trains when combined with other 683 series models, and complements the Happy Line Fukui 521 series for authentic Hokuriku setups.
