211 Series 3000 (Boso Color) 5-Car Set
●This product features the 211 series that operated in the Boso area from 2006 to 2013. This particular set was created when the 211 series 3000 series at Takasaki Rolling Stock Center were converted into 10-car fixed formations with the addition of Green Cars. It sported the yellow and blue Boso color scheme and replaced some of the 113 series trains belonging to Makuhari Rolling Stock Center. After seven years of service in the Boso area, it was transferred to Nagano Rolling Stock Center when the 209 series was introduced, ending its service in the Boso region. The year after its introduction, single-arm pantographs were added to the Kumoha 211 cars of 9 out of 14 formations to improve current collection efficiency, resulting in a unique configuration with two different pantograph shapes.
◆The 211 series, which supported an era in the Boso area, is now available. The product will feature the 507 series with two pantographs and the 407 series (second generation) with one pantograph. It's a product with many highlights, such as the front display showing the line name in different background colors depending on the line system. A 10-car formation with both sets coupled together can also be reproduced, allowing you to enjoy various scenes.
