Visit to Bullet Train Museum on September 14, 2013

Nice video. I know that space is at a premium but were there 1:1 examples of the original bullet train as well as some of the other coll sets such as these?

As far as styling on jr bullet trains go... IMHO this thing looks bad ***!

Ah, the Series 500

I'd like to have that in 'O'. Too bad it would cost about $15,000+ (from Kumata & Co, if you think I'm kidding)

And to think, the Series 500 has already been bumped from the top express services echelon.

I honestly am sad that most of the older series were retired in 2012.  Even today, they look modern.  The diversity is one of the main reasons that the Shinkansen is my most favorite high speed railway system.  To date, 15 different production series have been built!  By comparison, I can only find seven or eight for the TGV.
