N Scale 800 Series
Kyushu-Shinkansen ?Tsubame?
Introduced earlier this year in Kyushu, the most southern major island of Japan, the Series 800 is the latest generation of the well-known Shinkansen ?bullet train.? The white streamlined body with dull red accents is a perfect blend of speed and power. Black, and the dark red Japanese lacquer colour, feature on the roof to re-create the colours of a swallow, the bird from which the Japanese names this train ?Tsubame?. Currently operating in the southern region of Kyushu with 70% of its route under tunnels, this new kid on the rails is able to achieve speeds in excess of 260 kph (160mph) despite inclines up to 35%!
