Description

The Hankyu Railway 2300 Series is a new Kyoto Line limited express train introduced in 2024. It keeps the familiar Hankyu maroon identity while adding a more modern front-end design, curved windscreen treatment and the PRiVACE reserved-seat car concept.

This 4-car KATO basic set represents the 2301 formation, introduced as part of the 2025 production group. It can be combined with the matching add-on set to create the full formation.
