209-500 Series Keiyo Line
The 209-500 Series was introduced in 1998 for operation on the Chuo and Sobu Local lines.
It is characterized by a wider body, designed to increase transport capacity compared to the existing 209 Series. In 2008,
four of the trains were transferred to the Keiyo Line, but as the successor E233-5000 Series was introduced, three of these
sets were transferred to the Musashino Line. The remaining one is still in service today, after having some equipment updates.
The 209-500 Series, the longest-serving train on the Keiyo Line, is now available in N-gauge! You can enjoy scenes featuring
the E233-5000 Series, which ran on the same line, along with various other trains it shared tracks with on the Uchibo and
Sotobu lines.
