Why is it retired ? Any technical problems with it ? 13 years is nothing for a train. In Germany, we have many locomotives and waggons which are more than 50 years old, in daily service !

By the way, I'm currently working on a high-definition repaint of the Nozomi Shinkansen 500 for the MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator). Check out my URL - the pictures are old, the new repaint is much better than that !

It still looks futuristic, but the design is already 20 years old... :)
It will be replaced by the N700 series, but for now it won't go into museum, it'll be used on slower service.

Thanks for the nice post Muza chan! Can't believe they are retiring the 500! It still looks futuristic. Wonder what will replace it and will it go to a museum.

That is an awesome looking train. Interesting how they retire the trains so often in Japan. In the US, they would try and use the train for as long as possible before retiring. Maybe 20 or 25 years.
