mamochan Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I am planning on buying "Sakura swallow" Series 800 Kyushu Shinkansen very shortly but was curious which loco would be the maintenance loco? kind of like Microace's J.N.R. 2003 Although, I honestly am not sure how one of these locomotives would connect to the 800 series in the first place. I am kind of presuming that the loco exists since the train can't have a 100% perfect reliability, or can it? Link to comment
westfalen Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The removable nose of the 800 would conceal an emergency coupler like other Shinkansen types but I can't remember seeing any photos of a loco. It's possible that a failed train could be towed, or pushed, off the section by another train which would be more logical anyway than waiting for a rescue loco to come from somewhere. Link to comment
