KATO N Gauge 787 Series Tsubame Set Silver Model Train 9-Car 10-1615

A nine-car set that recreates the buffet-connected 787 series "Tsubame" train. The actual vehicle first appeared as the "Tsubame" express train in July 1992, and has since undergone various operations and interior and exterior renovations, and is still in service today as the main express train on JR Kyushu's conventional lines. At the time of its debut, it was stationed at Kagoshima Depot and ran between Mojiko and Hakata and Nishi-Kagoshima (now Kagoshima-Chuo). In 1994, it was converted to a 9-car formation, and the buffet car, Sahashi 787, was moved from car 3 to car 5 to meet increasing passenger demand. This is a full set of nine 787 Series "Tsubame" cars with a two-tone gray body and a repositioned buffet car. You can enjoy the changes that have occurred over the years by lining up the 787 series from its heyday alongside successive generations of Tsubame trains.
