[🔹Product Highlights & Recommended Points]
●Faithful Reproduction of Real Container Freight Trains

You can enjoy realistic mixed consists and coupled transport scenes just like the real train.
●Realistic Detailing with New Molds
The containers use newly manufactured "U55A" wing containers, and the nearly identical "U54A" type is also reproduced. Differences in markings and stripe colors are faithfully captured, realistically conveying the feel of a mixed consist.
●Attention to Detail
The container sides prominently feature the "Ecoliner" logo and Nippon Express’s current "NX" logo. The paint on the container tops (gray section in the center), side and end stripe colors and patterns, and even the placement of non-standard marks (Hello Mark) are accurately recreated, reflecting the differences from single-unit specifications.
●Reproduction of Koki 105 Structure and Frame
The underframe has an open floor structure, exposing piping and frame details for a realistic appearance.
