The Rokuhan SG005-1 Z Shorty 0 Series Shinkansen Kodama Starter Set brings the iconic 0 Series Shinkansen to the compact Z Shorty lineup as a ready-to-run beginner package. The 0 Series Shinkansen was the first Shinkansen train put into commercial service by Japanese National Railways in 1964 and became a symbol of postwar Japanese rail travel.
Key Features:

- All-in-one starter package includes what you need to begin running the train right away, making it a straightforward entry point into Z Gauge.
