This hard-to-find set (released in 2014) includes the Series 0 Shinkansen Bullet Train and Tokyo Station. The Series 0 Shinkansen is a 3-car train that can be coupled (or uncoupled) with other Tomy cars. The trains and cars are compatible with Thomas, IKEA, BRIO and other standard trains with 1" wheelbases. The Series 0 Shinkansen train has a forward light and two speeds (hi and low). When switched off, the Series 0 Shinkansen can be rolled by hand. The Tokyo station platform has two stop-n-go tracks built into the base.

The set originally came with 12 sections of track - enough to build a simple 18" x 18" oval. I have ADDED 12 more sections of track with 2 turnouts which will now build a 36" x 36" layout (see second to last picture).

The train engine operates on 1 standard "AA" cell battery (not included). The battery compartment is clean and free of any battery acid leaks.

I did notice that the traction tires on the engine are a bit worn in spots so I have added a new set of traction tires to swap out when you are ready (Tomy traction tires are also available on eBay and are fairly inexpensive).

If you have time, please take a look at my other items as I will always combine shipping on items if it helps you get a better shipping price.

My feedback is very important. Please email me with any questions or concerns before or after the listing ends.  If for any reason you are not happy with the item, please let me address your concerns.
