By the way, the “S” in the N700S stands for “Supreme” as when it came out in 2020 it was the best version of the N700 series Shinkansen with many upgrades over the N700A model. With the “A” being the “Advanced” version of the original N700. The N700S has better brakes, packs of Lithium Ion batteries so it can run for short periods of time without power, and it is the fastest Shinkansen currently in service. The batteries are for moving the train off of bridges or out of tunnels in the case of an earthquake and the better brakes enable it it to stop in a shorter distance also in the event of an earthquake.

Yeah, especially at speed! Need a bigger place for a super long stretch lol

This video is amazing :) !

When you install the lights maybe also install a bipolar capacitor ( train can go both directions) The idea when power drops from rail which gives the flicking the capacitor should maintain voltage over that time. I believe the train has a flywheel so it won't be affected by variations in voltage.

Thanks for the review. Just got back from Japan. Traveled in the Nozomi Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto.......285kph awesome.

Can see about giving that a whirl

As much as I like the 500 series shinkansen design, I agree with you on the colour scheme being to dark for my liking, that is why I went the Tomix Hello Kitty 500 series shinkansen, as for N700 family, I have the N700S-8000 Kamome (kyushu) version. Besides a whole bunch of other N scale HST's

The hello kitty one is really cool, I’d love to be able to afford one of the 500 series type Eva Shinkansens. That one is so cool.

@ernestoguevara8599 Every so often you can find good deals, but shipping can be a little pricey. Got to play around with what you order to minimize shipping costs, it varies by weight and size of what you're getting.
