Thanks Dr Chris you are always amazing me finding information that I had not heard of before and that is why I like you so much. I had not heard of that ‘Shipment Celebration’ 583’s before.
I also don’t think I have heard about the Chrome’s 583 travels. I do still think it strange about the box though… unless……That black sticker on the end of my box (pictured above) was made as an after thought when it, as you say, was shipped back to Japan and sold at the Tenshodo Hbf store at Ikspiari Disneyland. BTW, is Ikspiari Hindi? This might explain why the price is in Yen on the label but everything else is in English.
Hmmmm…now I am wondering if all trains and accessories in the Tomy USA stock was shipped back to Japan when they stopped?
