Description

-The E8 series began commercial operation in March 2024 as a new train for the Yamagata Shinkansen. Based on the E6 series, the concept is "a train that weaves rich culture and hearts", and in order to meet diverse travel needs, it is a train that has been enhanced by installing large luggage storage in all cars and increasing wheelchair space. The exterior design follows the previous Yamagata Shinkansen, using three colors: purple (Oshidori Purple), yellow (Safflower Yellow), and white (Zao Bianco), and is characterized by an "arrow line shape" with headlights on both shoulders. Between Tokyo and Fukushima, it is coupled with the E5 series "Yamabiko" and operates at a maximum speed of 300 km/h.

â—†The E8 series, which is playing an active role as the new face of the Yamagata Shinkansen, will be released in N gauge. You can enjoy it in conjunction with the E5 series, as well as with the 10-2096 E3 series 2000 Yamagata Shinkansen "Tsubasa" new paint color, scheduled for release in 2025.
