壊れもなくしっかりとしたものだった

The 215 trains were scrapped, dismantled and no longer exist. And received no sayonara event.Fortunately, TOMIX paid their respect to the JR 215 series by releasing a basic car set and an add-on car set in February 2022.There is no doubt the train is well produced and for the basic set, you get the first two trains and the last two trains, while the add-on set (98445) features six more double-decker cars.The basic set comes with the following:-Kumoha 215-0 (M)-Moha 214-0-Moha 214-100-Kumoha 215-100The front end features a motorized Kumoha 215-0 and on the front, the DDL and JR marks can be seen on the front and sides.What I also found interesting is that the coupler is attached to its wheel base. Also, the ends featured a dummy coupler on the cab side of the leading car and it’s pretty much powered with a flywheel, black wheels and uses an M-13 motor.I felt that coupling was a bit of a hassle and partly I feel is because the train cars were so light. So, while the trains really show a wonderful molding of seats, I needed to add a bit more weight. So, between the seats, I put whatever coin yen I had in which the top train cover can easily fit in perfectly.I did try to add Tomix 0733 LED lighting but it was problematic to get things staying on and I decided to pass on the LED lighting because I was spending too much time trying to get it to work on this train. But the train does feature lights at the front and tail lights with LED.Included are runner parts such as phone antenna, front display (transfer sheets/car number) deecals.But for the most part, when it runs, it runs well. Tested it at various speeds as you can see below:Overall, I am glad that TOMIX released this train series and in a way, acknowledging that the train has its fans. In reality, the train had a wonderful design but just didn’t get the respect it deserved due to the problems as mentioned.And it’s a shame that while there is no sayonara event, at least TOMIX did fans of this train a great service by releasing the 215 series!For me, this train was an instant buy and I’m glad I got it!

子供の時は快速アクティーで見たり乗ったりしてました。そのため購入しました。記憶通りの色感で手元に届いたときは感動しました。大切に保管します。

製品届いたが外箱に破損ありの為星4です。

先頭車の欠陥が目立つ　ダミーカプラーを連結首振りカプラーに変更しようとしたが１０+４にしたかった　モーター車が２両欲しかったので　２セット＋増結６両で１４両　通常１０両　余剰４両　モーターなし先頭車２両を運転席側同士で連結したいがどのような加工を施しても　カプラーを設置するスペース自体がないのでダメだね。この仕様は腹立ちますね。甲種回送、廃車回送、機関車牽引も出来ませんし。何故に先頭車両をMモーター車にしたのか　お粗末なダミーカプラーにしたのか解らん。室内灯取り付けない人には　先頭車モーターにする必要は無いと思う。室内灯取り付けする私は牽引バランスが悪いので、両側とも先頭車は２セット買いモーター車にした。

さすが…安心・信頼のKATOって感じです。スロットレスモーターは低速でも安定した走行で大満足です。増結する場合に備え、683系の様な前面扉 (開) パーツを製造・販売して欲しいものです。

実際、手にとって見てもKATOブランドさすがです、あと増結セット側にも、動力を入れたら、実車と同じ様な編成、走行が楽しめると、思います。

コンテナ付き貨車でこの価格は嬉しい！
