Tetsudou Journal has a news item about JR East's refurbed E653s, renumber as 1100 subseries, to be used on the Shirayuki service that will run between Niigata and Arai on the Shin'etsu Main Line.  It will begin in March 2015 with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen.  There will be four 4-car formations. Looks good.

The nostrils... I mean, marker lights, look great!

The paint scheme is beautiful. Definitely on the todo list and will get the model ASAP.
