The Aichi Loop Railway 2000 series, active since 2002, runs the full line from Okazaki to Kozoji. Based on JR’s 313 series, it’s a key commuter EMU in the region.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Expo 2005 Aichi, a special livery train entered service in March 2025, recreating the design from that memorable event!

◆ This release features three liveries: standard blue, green, and Expo 2005 Revival. The green and Expo versions are the first to include double-pantograph setups. Combine sets to recreate real-life coupled train formations!
