Description

The Seibu Railway 40000 Series 50 was introduced from 2019 as a later group of the 40000 Series. Unlike the earlier convertible-seat version, the 50 Series uses longitudinal seating and works across a wide area, including Seibu routes and through services to Tokyo Metro, Tokyu Toyoko and Minatomirai lines.

This 6-car basic set represents 40151 formation and provides the powered core of the full 10-car train when used with the matching 4-car add-on set.
