Description

The E721 Series works on JR East's AC electrified routes in the southern Tohoku region. The design was introduced from 2007 as part of the renewal of the Sendai area fleet and for services including the Sendai Airport Access Line.

The real E721 units use a low-floor body, small-diameter wheels and step-free entrances to suit regional lines with low platforms. This makes them a distinctive modern Tohoku subject and a useful companion to JR East 701 Series, HB-E300 'Hinabi' and HB-E300 'SATONO' models.

This product represents the 0 series two-car set. It is suitable for present-day scenes on the Tohoku Main Line, Joban Line north of Haranomachi, Senzan Line and Ban-etsu West Line.
