ES Series is a "light" version of S. For example, the E7 Shinkansen Kagayaki (the one with the blue roof):
- S Series (2860 JPY): two-speed-train, lights ("equipped with high power light")
- ES Series (2000 JPY): shorter (middle car is very short), 1 speed, no lights, pantograph not painted, some stickers to apply.
That's right, it's not entirely clear what gap the ES series fills in the lineup, but they've recently had products that target the youngest groups (under 3), so this is probably another attempt to reach those goals. It remains to be seen how successful they will be in this, because if we take the example above, it is questionable why a younger child would not care if the train has lights. On the contrary, I think kids will want that slightly more expensive train that has lights! 😁
