Odakyu 60000 series MSE

The Odakyu 60000 series MSE (Multi Super Express) is a Japanese limited express electric multiple unit operated by the Odakyu Electric Railway since March 2008.
==History==
The 60000 series trains were introduced as a new type of limited express train which could run directly on various subway lines and can begin operations there for special services. The first sets entered service on 15 March 2008. The sets were also the recipient of various awards, such as the 2009 Blue Ribbon Award and the Brunel Award. 
The 60000 series sets operate mainly on the Odakyu network but may also enter the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. The sets are also able to through run to the JR Central Gotemba Line, having done so since March 2012, replacing the 20000 series trains in this regard. Two additional sets were manufactured in 2015.
==Design==
The 60000 series sets use a streamlined front end with bottom-mounted high-intensity discharge headlights in vertical rectangular-shaped casings recessed in the pilot. A full-color LED display is featured, displaying the service name below the driver's side window. A gangwayed cab car is present on each set, allowing for two sets to connect together in a 6+4 formation. The sets were designed by industrial designer Noriaki Okabe. The trains are painted in Vermeer Blue with Vermeer Red accents and white highlights. Operational equipment is largely the same as the 4000 series sets.

==Specifications==
Construction is of an aluminum alloy with either single- or double-skinned structures depending on the car. The trains use 2-level IGBT drives manufactured by Toshiba; these produce a hissing noise.
The 60000 series sets are fitted with a musical horn, playing variations on a four-note ditty; the horn may be used on the Odakyu network as well as the Chiyoda Line, but may not be used on the Gotemba Line.
The 60000 series trains are one of only three non-articulated members of the Romancecar family, in that none of the cars feature shared bogies; the others are the 20000 and the 30000 series.
