I’ve been waiting for those 5300 series subway sets for a long time, as they also run on the Keikyu & Keisei lines 
The 8000 series ‘Shiokaze’ is also an unusual looking train, but I like to old paint scheme better than the new one. The prototype tilts - the model doesn’t.
Also the 383 prototype tilts - the model doesn’t. These models will include swappable open and closed set connection diaphragms.
Does anyone know what the body color of the Microace Sagami 6000 A3276? Microace dosent show a good picture? I want to make sure before I order it.
Hi Doug,
It would appear the WAMU sets will have opening doors. This is according to Hobby Search.
