This model brings that sense of exclusivity to your layout and stands out as a centrepiece in any modern Japanese train collection.
How to use it
Place the train on compatible N scale track and operate using a suitable DC controller. It looks particularly impressive on modern Japanese layouts featuring stations, elevated lines, and urban scenery.
This is a ready-to-run scale model train. Paint and glue are not required. It is not a toy.
