SERIES E233 SHONAN COLOUR WITH CONNECT GIMMICK

The E233 series trains are probably the most common commuter trains in Japan (as many as 3,297 units were produced by June last year) and have already appeared a couple of times in my videos. These two latest trains are the 6th and 7th E233-trains in my collection. But these are special because they contain a special connector that can connect 2 trains and thus get a long train, necessary for traffic during rush hours.

Such a train is actually a correct representation of a real train, since the E233 series trains are always used in pairs, in case something on one of the two connected trains fails.

But coupling the two Plarail models together causes problems on the U-turns, double switches, and the worst is on the ascending the curved slope to the viaduct, which such a large train cannot overcome. Still, running on other lines is possible, and trains this long look really good, so take a look.
