● We are reproducing the N700S Shinkansen, a mainstay trainset on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines.

● This KATO "Best Selection" item is highly recommended for passengers traveling between the Tokyo metropolitan area and western Japan.
● A must-have addition to your collection.
● This version now features a slotless motor for propulsion.
● Consequently, the product codes, prices, and JAN codes for the Basic Set and Starter Set have been updated.
● Additionally, the power pack included in the Starter Set has been changed to a black-colored unit.
● All other specifications remain unchanged from previous versions.
