Stumbled randomly upon this annoucement : a new Fuji Express train will make its debut on the 23rd of april this year. Annoucement : http://www.fujikyu-railway.jp/news/info.php?no=132 (JP) Dedicated page : http://www.fujikyu-railway.jp/fujisan-view-express/ (JP) Article with a bit more details : http://hirota2015.blog.jp/archives/52919379.html (JP) Random article in english : http://www.japanstation.com/the-new-fujisan-view-express-to-make-spring-debut-this-april/ (EN) More pictures : http://response.jp/article/img/2016/04/06/272997/1037946.html More pictures of the interior : http://www.sankei.com/life/photos/160406/lif1604060021-p1.html Designed by the infamous Eiji Mitooka, it seems to be a JR 371 series given the Fuji Tozan Densha treatment : wood inside, red and gold paint outside. I'll replace the former 2000series Fuji Express which was withdrawn from service on the 7th of February. What are the chances that it'll be released as an n scale model ? Anyone in Japan willing to get to the debut ride and take pictures ?
