-The H5 series was introduced in 2016 as JR Hokkaido's first Shinkansen. Based on JR East's E5 series, some of the interior and exterior have been changed. The basic appearance and paint color are similar to the E5 series, but it has a lavender stripe called "Saika Purple", and the symbol mark of Hokkaido and the Gyrfalcon motif is on the side of the five cars in the formation. Like the E5 series, it is active in "Hayabusa" between Tokyo and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.
◆The Hokkaido Shinkansen opened on March 26, 2016. The H5 series, which appeared with the advance opening of the Shin-Aomori to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto section, is now available in HO gauge for the first time. The basic set is available in a convenient 4-car set. By combining the 2-car and 4-car extension sets, you can flexibly expand from a short formation to a full formation.
Main Features
②The characteristic lavender stripe and symbol mark of the H5 series are realistically and accurately reproduced. The outer hood of the connecting part that wraps around the top surface is expressed in black.
③The form before the window blocking due to the installation of the baggage storage area is reproduced. Stickers that can reproduce the blocked windows of cars 1 to 8 are included as you like.
④The symbol mark is placed on cars 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Wheelchair mark of cars 5 and 9 is also expressed by printing.
⑤Equipped with a car body tilt mechanism and a front coupling mechanism (H514-1).
⑥Minimum passing curve radius: R370mm (When passing through small curves (R550/490 or less) on double tracks, the cars on the rear tangent line will come into contact with each other, so we recommend operating on a single track).
⑦The destination display on the side is a separate part with "Hayabusa 39 Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto" printed on it. Replacement blank parts and destination display stickers are included.
⑧The power unit equipped with a coreless motor enables stable running.
