It was JR Kyushu's first tilting train and Japan's first AC tilting train for commercial use. A distinctive feature is that the design of the front differs depending on the year of manufacture. Since 2005, the trains have undergone renewal work and have been unified with the current metallic blue exterior. In 2025, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its debut, the first train set (AO-1) was given a commemorative wrapping and is currently in operation for a limited time until the end of the year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◆ Among the 883 series trains that operate as the \"Sonic\" limited express, we will be producing a model of the AO-1 train set, which features 30th-anniversary commemorative wrapping, from the first-generation train with three illuminated fog lights, which differs from conventional products. The 30th-anniversary logos placed in various locations and the fog lights in the center of the front are reproduced. This product can be enjoyed in conjunction with a wide range of other train products that operate in the Kyushu region, including the popular \"10-2090 787 series '36 plus 3'\", \"10-1540 787 series \u0026lt;Around the Kyushu\u0026gt;\", and \"10-1952 885 series (2nd generation) \u0026lt;Around the Kyushu\u0026gt;\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KATO","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50616168546497,"sku":"10-2159","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1171\/4497\/files\/nmi_883_30th_m1.jpg?v=1789673111","url":"https:\/\/idktrains.com\/products\/kato-n-scale-883-series-sonic-30th-anniversary-edition-7-car-set","provider":"IDKTRAINS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
