I have a TOMIX N 97944 DD51 THE LAST RUN IN AICHI,You are from japan,i'm from Vietnam
E7シリーズとE6シリーズの開封動画は今後制作される予定ですか?
E4系を見ると懐かしい気持ちになるなぁ
I don't think you're meant to take the coupling cover off. It's designed to pop forward and you can adjust it and pull it back into the body like irl!
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。朱鷺カラーE4の良さがよく伝わってきて、到着がますます待ち遠しくなりました。実車には縁がなかったのですが、E4系に惹かれて鉄道模型を始めた身なので思い入れのある車両です。予約した物は今中国へ転送中で、手元に来るまでまだかなりかかりそうなのがもどかしいです。一点お聞きしたいのですが、今回の製品は以前のKATO製E4系と比べて動力やモーター音に変化はありますでしょうか。旧動力のほうが力強いという話もよく聞くので、そのあたり気になっております。
좋아하는 신간센중 하나 입니다. 복층이라 크고 웅장하기도 하지만, 동글동글한 귀여운 얼굴도 가지고 있죠.
Fantastic video as always from your fans in the UK , I have recently subscribed to your channel and now look out for your videos . Wonder if you could make a video if you have not already of the best preloved shops in Tokyo where people in the UK can purchase models from online , thank you .
I've got the oringal livery of the E4 series, I haven't ran it in a while actually…
Wow it's amazing 😍 I like train toys so much 😊 and I have also some train toys models 🚂🚃🚃🚃🤩😍
Would’ve been a 25 car train if the E5 had been a full 10 car set
E4系朱鷺色は持ってるので黄色帯の方をかって16両にしたい!!!!
今回のe4系スロットレスモーターらしいんですけど静かですかね、?
今回も編集お疲れ様です!
Heißt der E5+E4+E6-Zug jetzt Super-Komachi-Max? Die weiß-blaue Lackierung mit dem gelben Streifen sahen eleganter aus. Viele Grüße aus Berlin Sylvia und Jens
E5+E4+E6編成は、これからは「スーパーこまち・マックス」という名前になるのでしょうか?白と青の塗装に黄色のストライプが入っていた頃の方が、よりエレガントに見えました。ベルリンより、シルヴィアとイェンス
😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your E4 Shinkansen Max is so beautiful, and KATO's stunning attention to detail in the construction of these models is amazing. The double-decker design and the livery colors are very appealing. The exceptionally smooth and silent motion of the Slotless Motor is perfect for adding great operational realism to Shinkansen model trains. The station departures and arrivals were very enjoyable to watch. I'm delighted that you have a beautiful collection of Shinkansen model trains at home, and the view of them laid out at 6:50 was impressive. The camera car views were great, especially at full speed. Wishing you many years of joy with your E4 Shinkansen Max! Arigatougozaimasu for brightening my day with your video, and I'll look forward to watching your next train adventure! 🚅
