This is the E721 series, which operates on the AC electrified sections of JR East's southern Tohoku region. This model was introduced in 2007 for the purpose of renewing JR East Sendai Branch's rolling stock and for operation on the Sendai Airport Access Line. To accommodate the low-floor platforms of regional lines, the E721 features a low-floor body structure with small-diameter wheels and step-free entrances, making it barrier-free. Following the previously released 0/500 series (two-car formations), the 1000 series, a four-car fixed formation, was introduced in 2016. This model offers a wide variety of variations, including vehicles owned by third-sector companies with the same manufacturer and basic design.
Three types will be released this time: a two-car 0 series set and a four-car 1000 series set with one-man operation, and a special six-car set consisting of the 0 and 1000 series without one-man operation.
This train is currently in service on the Tohoku Main Line (Shin-Shirakawa to Ichinoseki), Joban Line (north of Haranomachi), Senzan Line (Sendai to Yamagata), and Ban'etsu West Line (Koriyama to Aizuwakamatsu). This is a fun model that can be coupled with the popular 701 Series 1000 (Sendai livery) and performed alongside the HB-E300 Series "Hinabi" and "SATONO." Enjoy the modern-day Tohoku railway scene with this model train.
Main Features
② The different stripe colors of the 0 and 1000 series are beautifully reproduced (0 series: green, white, and red, 1000 series: green, white, and pink), and the car number, affiliation, and car number are printed.
③ The size of the passenger window opposite the toilet, which varies depending on the series, is reproduced.

⑤ The pantograph is a newly created PS109 type with a round pipe.
⑥ The bogies are DT72/TR256 for low-floor vehicles. The car uses small diameter wheels (φ5.2mm) just like the real thing, realistically reproducing the 2,100mm wheelbase of the real thing. Snowplows already installed
