Description
This KATO 6-car basic set represents JR West's 283 Series 'Ocean Arrow', the distinctive limited express train introduced in 1996 for services from Shin-Osaka towards Wakayama, Shirahama and Shingu.
The prototype used a controlled natural tilting system to improve speed and comfort over the curved sections of the Kisei Main Line. The train is known for its dramatic front-end styling and the mix of streamlined and non-streamlined cab vehicles used in different formations.
