East i-D in Hokkaido

[Tony Galiani]

This is something new to me:

Wouldn't mind a model of this.  The pantographs caught me by surprise when I first saw them.  I need to spend some time on the web to learn about this.  According to the text (if the translation is right) JR Central's Kiya 95 series and JR West's Kiya 141 series are also scheduled to run.  I am not familiar with these so more web searching for me.  And I will check out ogogogwje's youtube channel first thing tomorrow to see if he has videos of those.

Ciao,

Should search first and type second.  I see MicroAce has made a model of this.

Have they? You aint meaning the East-i, not the East-iD? Aka E926.

 

I vaguely remember pairhands doing a basic plastic unpainted kit.

 

Edit// never mind. Found it. E193. Pairhand kits was the maya50 clearance car sometimes atached to the East-iD.

Yeah still very much awaiting for a re-release of this set!

 

wouldnt mind the electric one either...

 

Even more lovely if it comes with the Maya 50-5001

A model manufacturer would have to include the Maya 50.  Its weirdness is the star of the show.
