Dear N Scale Customers: Kato has just announced a new passenger
set for limited availability in North America. Here are
details;
We thought we'd let you know about a Japanese model we have
available for purchase: The 800 series Shinkansen "Tsubame"
(the latest rendition of the famous Japanese Bullet Train).
The details of this gorgeous "book" keepcase trainset can
be found in the attached file.
Kato Japan - N Scale - 800 Series Kyushu-Shinkansen
?Tsubame?6-Car Set, Pwd 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%!
