●The 885 series is an additional car of the 885 series for "Sonic" that appeared in 2001, and is characterized by the blue line and the headlights whose design has been changed from the first car. In 2003, one car was added to the train, making it a 6-car formation, and in 2010, the "Sonic" logo was changed to the "AROUND THE KYUSHU" logo, and it is active as "Sonic" and "Kamome". After the opening of the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen in 2023, it is currently active as "Sonic" as well as "Relay Kamome", "Midori", and "Kasagi". From March 2024, a formation has been introduced in which the bogie cover of the leading car has been changed from a spherical one to a flat plate-like one.
◆The 885 series (2nd car) <Around the Kyushu>, which is active as the main express train in the Kyushu region, will be updated to the current specifications and commercialized. Starting with this product, we will reproduce the bogie cover that has been changed to a flat plate shape in accordance with the trend of the actual vehicle. In addition, the car number will be different from the previous product, so it is also recommended for those who want to collect this type.
