Introduction
I've been a train enthusiast since I was a child. Trains have always fascinated me, and I've been captivated by the different types and models. In last year in 2024, in march, a dream of mine came true when I traveled to Japan and experienced the famous Shinkansen, the Japanese bullet train, which are one of the fastest and most advanced railway in the world. This experience was so inspiring that I decided to build my own Shinkansen out of LEGO bricks.
The LEGO Shinkansen Project
The LEGO Shinkansen train I built consists of one N700 series locomotive and one passenger car. I paid special attention to the details to make the train as true to the original Shinkansen as possible.
The Shinkansen Locomotive and Passenger car
- Locomotive: The white colored brick built locomotive features the streamlined design characteristic of Shinkansen trains, symbolizing high speed and modern technology.
- Passenger car: The carriage has comfortable seats in two row and detailed interiors to make them as realistic as possible. Each carriage has space for passengers and separate areas for luggage.

The Building Process
Throughout the building process, I focused on authenticity and intricate details. It took about 2 months totally of work to assemble every piece and complete the train as its final shape now. I did not want to add any stickers like "N700 series" and any other title, because i prefer to design it originally.
The LEGO Shinkansen train I built is more than just a model; it's an expression of my passion. I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams and creativity through LEGO creations. My love for trains and the Japanese Shinkansen will never fade, and I'm proud to have built this amazing train.
The set has been built by 1019 bricks in total.
