Kato N - 10-136 - Train set - 6-part Shinkansen Series 0 Bullettrain - Japan Railways Tested and working. Front and end signal lights alternate with changes in the direction of travel. Powered on 4 axles. Shinkansen means in Japanese new main line. This term is used for both trains and railway lines. In English, the train is also called Bullet train, dangan ressha. This term dates back to 1939, when the very first idea for the Shinkansen arose, but is now hardly used anymore. The original model, the 0 Series Shinkansen, which was built from 1963, would continue to be built until 1986, with the necessary adjustments as the years passed. The last series 0 was taken out of the running in 2008. The trains had several engines distributed over the train from the start, in contrast to the previous use of one engine in front. The Shinkansen were able to continue if one or more engines failed. The distribution of the engines also ensures the smoother taking of slopes.
