RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted May 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 2, 2017 The new JR East 'Shiki-Shima' train makes its debut.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted May 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2017 Isn't that what they're going to do with the 442's? Might be nice to convert a couple of 373's to this sort of spec rather than scrap them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
