Rokuhan Z Gauge JNR 0 Series Shinkansen Early Model Set Railway Model Train "Hikari No. 1" 12-Car T020-1

The 0 Series, the first Shinkansen train to enter commercial service, is now available in Z gauge. This is a limited first production run of a 12-car full train set. It comes in a special package with two train car cases housed in a single sleeve. This model is based on the H2 train set that was used for the first train, "Hikari No. 1," departing Tokyo Station at 6:00 AM on October 1, 1964, the opening day of the Tokaido Shinkansen. The side signboards used when the train first opened are reproduced using printing. Stickers that can be used on controllers and other parts are included. The pantograph is movable. The minimum driving radius is R195. Headlights and taillights are on. This model recreates the "glowing front end," a characteristic feature of the early 0 Series Shinkansen, where the coupler cover glows faintly.
