885 series (secondary car) (SM8 formation) The 885 series is an expanded version of the 885 series for "Sonic" that appeared in 2001, and is characterized by a blue line and a headlight whose design has been changed from the first car. In 2003, one car was added to the train, making it a six-car train, and in 2010, the "Sonic" logo was changed to the "AROUND THE KYUSHU" logo, and it was used as "Sonic" and "Kamome". After the opening of the West Kyushu Shinkansen in 2023, it is currently active as ``Sonic'', ``Relay Seagull'', ``Midori'', and ``Magpie''. From March 2024, a formation has been introduced in which the bogie cover of the lead car has been changed from a spherical one to a flat plate-shaped one. The 885 series (secondary car) , which is active as the main express vehicle in the Kyushu area, will be updated to the current specifications and commercialized. From this product, we will reproduce the bogie cover that has been changed to a flat plate shape in accordance with the trends of the actual vehicle. In addition, the car number is different from the previous model, so it is recommended for those who want to collect this type.
