A run early this morning from Shin Aomori. First time for this train.

This is the one train I kick myself every time I see it for not ponying up the money for the model when it was released!!!

Hold it right there. Haven't they run actual H5 trainsets through the Seikan Tunnel already? Or is the first trip of the 926 Series East-i trainset to the current end of Hokkaido Shinkansen line?

Yeah, YT seems to have plenty of video of it.  They probably did a very slow run (or two) before bumping it up to 260.  Gotta run the inspection train to be sure, though :).
