The E3 Series-2000 Yamagata Shinkansen "Tsubasa," which, along with its successor the E8 Series, serves as the mainstay of the Yamagata Shinkansen, is back in a new paint color.
Pair this with the separately sold [10-1969-1971 E5 Series Shinkansen "Hayabusa"] or [10-1967/1968 H5 Series Hokkaido Shinkansen "Hayabusa"] to recreate coupled train operation scenes seen between Tokyo and Fukushima, just like the real thing.
