[edit] Photo

I have removed the non-sourced image, Image:Fastech 360S.jpg and replaced it with a less questionable one from the BBC website, probably an AP photo. Still, the previous one was better as it showed the flaps more. If anyone can find a better (and free) photo, please post it in lieu of the current one. Thanks. -- Tangotango 15:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anyone speak Japanese?

Looks like the Japanese page [1] has much more info. Stevage 11:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Excuseme. Do you need my Japlish? It's difficult to write fluently. But, I can help you a little maybe. I can explain the nuance of the Japanese-sentence in English. I write Japlish here little by little when I am free. And you convert into fluent English. Is this way good? --Aki 11:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 252mph?

Something is wrong here. This article says the top speed is 252. This article says it's 223 (in my opinion, 252 seems a bit ambitious, given the fastest TGV managed 310, only by dropping 3/4 of the passenger carriages).martianlostinspace 13:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Shinkansen is running under the law in Japan. FASTECH is made for purpose to clear the environmental standard (sound suppression at high-speed phase). You think "a bit ambitious". It's nonsensicaly. Because the Shinkansen was reached 446kph (about 277 mph) in 1996 yet. --Aki 11:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
one more. "360 km/h (223 mph) using derivatives of the FASTECH 360". DERIVATIVES. prototype train FASTECH is 252. --Aki 11:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fastech-tan

The moe anthropomorphization. Does anyone have a picture of her? It would very much compliment the article, which does mention her! I think she'd be cute. Tyciol 20:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
