INFORMATION
The "First Car Museum" series of TOMIX, a railway model brand of TOMYTEC, a subsidiary of Japan's TAKARA TOMY, which produces various locomotive models, will launch the "JR 500-7000 Series Sanyo Shinkansen (500 TYPE EVA)" train model. The reference retail price is 5,069 yen and it is expected to be released in January 2026!
The 500 Series 7000 is a modified version of the original 500 Series. It has been used in the "Kodama" section train between Shin-Osaka and Hakata since 2008 and started running with a short formation of 8 cars. One of the formations participated in the "Shinkansen: EVA Project" from the fall of 2015 to March 2017, which painted a special appearance of the Evangelion Unit-01 theme for the carriages. There are also theme displays and photo areas inside the car, which are very popular with fans!
This time, the "JR 500-7000 Sanyo Shinkansen (500 TYPE EVA)" is a model of the N-gauge railway with the locomotive head in the color scheme of the Evangelion Unit-01 at that time, and the body shape is carefully restored. The headlights and taillights can be lit through the FM-017 power module, power unit and DC feeder sold separately. The headlights use warm white LEDs, and the taillights are red LEDs. The headlights and taillights are equipped with a constant-on circuit board and come with a linear track S158.5 (F), which can be connected to the existing Fine Track series or displayed directly!
