Tobu Railway 8000 Series (Updated) Tojo Line/Noda Line 6-Car Set
● The Tobu Noda Line (Tobu Urban Park Line) is a core line connecting Omiya, Kasukabe, Kashiwa, and Funabashi, operating independently from both the Isesaki Line (Tobu Skytree Line) and the Tojo Line. While the 8000 series was once the main rolling stock on this line, replacement is progressing with the introduction of the 10030 (10050) series and new series (60000 series, 80000 series). In 2014, a logo mark bearing the nickname "Tobu Urban Park Line," introduced to improve the image of the area along the line, was added. Despite these changes to its appearance, it continues to operate as a main rolling stock.
◆ A new lineup has been added to KATO's Tobu 8000 series. We have newly created the Moha 8800, characterized by its single pantograph, and will produce two versions of the 6-car train that operates on the Noda Line (Tobu Urban Park Line): the current version with the "Tobu Urban Park Line" logo, and the earlier version. In addition to its operation on the Noda Line (Tobu Urban Park Line), it is also recommended to combine it with the previously released Tobu 8000 series product to recreate the 10-car train seen on the Tojo Line.
