Prototype Information:

The Tokyu 5080 Series was introduced in 2003 for service on the Meguro Line, designed to support one-man operation and through-service with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, Toei Mita Line, and Saitama Railway. Originally formed as 6-car sets, each was extended to 8 cars in
2022. From March 2023, the trains began mutual through-operation with the Sotetsu Line via the newly opened Tokyu Shin-Yokohama Line, expanding their reach across multiple urban rail networks.

This model faithfully reproduces key features of the real train, including the distinctive blue line-color band and the unique pair of L- shaped antennas mounted only on the Shin-Yokohama-end lead car, reflecting modern antenna consolidation.

This highly realistic N-scale set is ideal for recreating contemporary Japanese commuter operations, offering smooth integration into urban layouts and interline scenarios with other modern rolling stock.

Model Features:

Set 5190, which was converted to an 8-car formation by incorporating a newly built car (Car 5) and a transferred car from the 6000 series (Car 4) as part of the 7th production batch.
Couplers: KATO close-coupling type couplers with hooks (intermediate cars), dummy couplers (rear cars)
