Scheduled for release around April-May 2026: KATO's N gauge finished model train, E721 series 0 series 2-car set. KATO 102091 Scheduled for release around April-May 2026 [Product Introduction] KATO's N gauge finished model train, E721 series 0 series 2-car set. This model replicates the P-13 formation belonging to the Sendai Vehicle Center, which is equipped with a one-man operation indicator next to the door. Underfloor equipment such as bogies and skirts are reproduced in gray. The different stripe colors for the 0 series and 1000 series are beautifully reproduced (0 series: green, white, and red; 1000 series: green, white, and pink). Car numbers, affiliation markings, and car number markings are pre-printed. The size of the passenger window opposite the toilet differs depending on the series. Headlights/taillights illuminate (with on/off switch). Each car features four headlights, newly designed PS109 round pipe pantographs, and DT72/TR256 low-floor bogies. Small diameter wheels (φ5.2mm) are used, just like the real train, realistically reproducing the 2100mm wheelbase. A slotless motor with a pre-installed snowplow ensures smooth and quiet running. A demagnetizing plate is incorporated, and the front of the leading cars has a dummy coupler with a coupler cover. The couplers on the front of the leading cars are compatible with the 701 series. Intermediate coupling surfaces use body-mounted close-coupling couplers (without hooks). The skirts reproduce the different inspection cover positions on the Kumoha E721 and Kuha E720, as well as the presence or absence of inspection covers depending on the car number. The front display shows "Sendai" pre-installed, with interchangeable front displays: "Shin-Shirakawa" and "(blank)". Includes destination display stickers. DCC friendly. Stored in a 2-car cardboard box.
