The 1/90th scale model is equally fast as the real thing, just in proportion. The company claims the speed tops at 500 km/h (311 mph) scale speed.

Reviews and Quality

Takara Tomy is known for making great products. The Linear Liner has been under development for years, to make it function as the real thing does and to make it affordable on scale-level. As this product was made for the Japanese market, you might need an adapter and the customer service outside of Japan is not available. Other than the difficulties that are related with the product being Japanese, this is a one of a kind maglev toy train that no other company offers.
