700 Series Shinkansen

700 Series Shinkansen (700系新幹線） nanahyakukei shinkansen) is one of the trains produced by Plarail.

Overview
The 700 Series Shinkansen was introduced in 1999, ordered by JR Central to operate Nozomi services, replacing the 300 Series. The train featured a "duck's bill" design to reduce the piston effect upon entering tunnels. The trains had a top speed of 270 km/h (170 mph) on the Tokaido Shinkansen and 285 km/h (177 mph) on the Sanyo Shinkansen.

The 700 Series was discontinued on the Tokaido Shinkansen on March 2020 to make way for newer and faster trains, but JR West still operates them on the Sanyo Shinkansen.
