Prototype Information:

JR Central’s iconic 313 Series—especially the 5000 and 5300 subseries—has served the Chukyo region since 1999. With 6-car and 2-car formations, they combine into 8-car sets for “Shin-Kaisoku” services. A major feature of these trains is their fully rotating cross-seat interior, designed for commuter comfort. The 5000 series also incorporates semi-active suspension and inter-car dampers to improve ride quality at high speeds and consists of 6-car sets, while the 5300 series runs in 2-car formations. They are often combined into 8-car consists for operations such as “Shin-Kaisoku” (Special Rapid) services.

Updated to reflect current appearance (e.g. depot markings omitted).

Ideal companion to the 683 Series “Shirasagi” (new livery, 10-2071) and 2025’s Hoki 2000 freight release.
