Description

N gauge KATO 4-car basic set for the N700S Shinkansen Nozomi.

The N700S entered service in July 2020 and is the current flagship generation for the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen. The S stands for Supreme, reflecting the improved stability, safety and passenger comfort built into the real train.

This basic set is the starting point for the KATO N700S formation. Add-on sets 10-1698 and 10-1699 are used to build the longer formation.
