Description

 

This is the latest release of the 211 series, which served the Boso region from 2006 to 2013. This train was created when Takasaki Rolling Stock Center's 211 series 3000s were converted into 10-car fixed formations, incorporating green cars. It was painted in the yellow and blue Boso livery and replaced some of the 113 series trains stationed at Makuhari Rolling Stock Center. It served the Boso region for seven years after its release, then transferred to Nagano Rolling Stock Center when the 209 series was introduced to the area, ending its service there. The year after its launch, nine of the 14 trains were fitted with single-arm pantographs on the 211 Kumoha to improve current collection efficiency, resulting in a unique configuration with two different pantograph shapes.

Introducing the 211 series, which supported an era in the Boso region. The product will feature the 507 train, which is equipped with two pantographs, and the 407 train (second generation), which is equipped with one. This product has many interesting features, such as the front display that shows the line name in a different background color depending on the line system. It is also possible to recreate a 10-car train with two trains coupled together, allowing you to enjoy a variety of scenes.

Features

1. This product is based on the 507 and 407 (2nd generation) trains that were stationed at the Makuhari Rolling Stock Center from 2009 to 2011.

2. The 507 train features the distinctive roof area where a PS35-type single-arm pantograph was added, and includes a train radio antenna with a round base.

3. The end panel beads and color bands are included, and the MR161A main resistors (3+3 units) and the uneven shape of the front light frames are reproduced.

4. The two-tone yellow and blue band color known as the Boso color is beautifully expressed. Door switches are printed.

5. Head/tail lights and front destination displays are lit (with a switch to turn them off).

6. The use of a slotless motor ensures smooth and quiet running.
