give the skinny. It was done with help from Nik, because he had to do a
school project on Japan in second grade, and he chose Shinkasen as his

That train is still together and runs faithfully at every MichLTC show...
usually a crowd pleaser. It's not very strictly prototypical (although it
was modeled after early style units, not the much more swoopy later units

I may still make a Shinkasen set someday for MTW, I have 20+ 4561s
stockpiled to serve as raw material.
