Kato 10-2002 N Scale E231-1000 Series Renewal 5-Car Auxiliary Set

Kato 10-2002 N Scale E231-1000 Series Renewal 5-Car Auxiliary Set

The Series E231-1000 belonging to the Oyama Rolling Stock Center.
● The Series E231-1000 was introduced in the year 2000 as a replacement for the Series 115 and 211 that had been in
service on the Utsunomiya and Takasaki Lines. The trains deployed by the Oyama Rolling Stock Center in the early 2000s
feature distinctive characteristics, including side skirting panels with continuous green stripes, a long running board extending
above the crew door of the lead car, a driver's console by the glass cockpit, and restrooms positioned throughout the train.
These features distinguish them from the additional units that were introduced for the Tokaido Line after 2004.
● The 10-car and 5-car formation are both modelled after the current specifications following the equipment renewal. You
can add to the fun by combining items #10-1784/1787 and #10-
1267/1270S which are currently on sale, to create a 15-car formation!
