The prototype, Series E231, made its debut in 2000 as a new standard electric train for JR East to succeed Series 209 and E217. The Series E231 comprises two types, suburban type and commuter train type, which is made with smaller seating space to carry as many commuters as possible during rush hours. The scale model is based on Series E231 1000 and over Suburban Type, which was deployed in 2000 to Oyama Electric Train Zone. Different from the said commuter train type, it is furnished with such equipment as toilets and seat layout, which is needed for long distance travel. It has also push buttons on passenger car doors for passengers to open the doors in cold winter, as the E231 Suburban Type is mostly operated in relatively cold regions. This series trains are being used in increasing numbers on the Tohoku and Takasaki lines and the Shonan-Shinjuku line, part of Tokaido mainline. 。 Cat No. Description Price (Tax in) JAN 10-471 Series E231 Suburban Type　8-Car Standard Set, Powered 17,850 yen 4949727510446 10-472 Series E231 Suburban Type 2-Car Add-On Set 3,150 yen 4949727510453 10-473 Series E231Suburban Type 5-Car Set, Powered 14,700 yen 4949727510460 ●  Passenger Car Lighting Kit (New Type) Item No.:11-204 MSRP:420 yen ●  Passenger Car Lighting Kit for 6 Cars (New Type) Item No.:11-206 MSRP:2,100 yen ※ Licensed by JR East ※ The distribution schedule, the price, and the specifications, etc. might change without a previous notice.
