The new Shinkansen E8 Series Tsubasa is now available in Plarail! This all-in-one set includes a Tomica arch crossing to make the E8 Series even more fun, and a limited-edition color S-shaped rail! The train is a coupling model, so you can also couple it with the E5 Series Shinkansen (sold separately) to recreate the actual formation!
The E8 Series Tsubasa, which began operation on March 16, 2024, is a mini Shinkansen from JR East that runs on Shinkansen and conventional line standards.
The E8 Series also runs on conventional line sections, so you can recreate actual scenes with the arch crossing that you can play with Tomica.
The S-shaped rail is the same length as a straight rail and can move between the double track width, so you can enjoy the gently curving running scene.
■ The train is modeled after the "E8 Series Yamagata Shinkansen Tsubasa."
■ The train is a coupling model that can be coupled with other coupling Plarail trains, and can be played with in two speeds with electric running or by rolling it by hand with the switch turned off.
■The arch crossing can be played with by moving the barrier with your hand, and can also be connected to the Tomica Town road.
■The included station allows you to park a 3-car train in a cool way, and you can also play with the PlaKids (sold separately).
■You can park other Plarail cars on the siding to enjoy parallel parking, or recreate coupling scenes.
*Items other than those included in the set are sold separately. (Plarail cars other than E8 Tsubasa, PlaKids, rails, Tomica (miniature cars), and Tomica Town roads)
