Description

The Tokyo Metro 16000 Series was introduced from 2010 to replace older 6000 Series trains on the Chiyoda Line. It also works through services onto the JR Joban Line and Odakyu Line, making it useful for modern Tokyo-area layouts.

This KATO 6-car basic set represents a first-batch train, easily recognised by the central front emergency exit. It recreates Ayase depot 44 formation, 16104F, in current specification.
