Super Are you talking about the EF 60-19? I am not an expert (we do have them here) but in my knowledge there are only two. A more common blue one that was found in several sets and a more harder to get white one that was released exclusively in one set. I don't think either one was released as an individual. Check out Gerisplarail1 web site where you can see just about all, if not all, the EF units. http://myplaraildepot.weebly.com/electric-freight-trains.html
Gerisplarail1 The EF 60 you have is most likely the blue version as it is not super common, but it is out of print now in the entire world and was never a standard release. The white version is quite rare. here are the ways the blue version was released from most common to most rare:
Super Thank you Geris That first set is what we had first bought. It wasn't that long ago when Amazon was selling those sets from their warehouse. We also had made a deal to buy three new, engine only (loose) from Amber and Wayne in the UK. We got our White EF 6019 individually from PlarailMike but they can be found on the Japan Auctions for a reasonable price. Now getting the sets are a different story.

Super A picture just flashed through my brain of a tandem engine set that has a Blue EF 60 that couples in front of a green EF 60. Why do I see this? I know I have seen this maybe in a video too. Might this set be different EF units? An EF 63 perhaps? Please tell me I am not going loony....please?

ROKMAN1445 Super, I have the same Ef 60 that ucwepn has, but not in that set. Geri, sorry. Still working out the kinks. Wait does that mean it's really rare, or just uncommon? By the way, I have the WHOLE ENTIRE set, from the track to the trees.

Super @Action Chugger Its on Gerisplarail1's web page. Scroll down to about the middle. He also shows a picture of the only set the white EF6019 came in. http://myplaraildepot.weebly.com/electric-freight-trains.html
ROKMAN1445 Really? Sweet, because it's all I've got! Here is the highway Pursuit set: http://http://s1006.photobucket.com/user/plarailking2002/media/IMG_8353_zpsy8dqnuq9.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 I like to use Matchbox and Hot Wheels rather than Tomica. P.S.: Riser 'b' has been replaced by Legos. 😃
Nigels I just got one of these off eBay, brand new in box, should arrive in the next couple of days, ironic I got it then saw this thread a day or so later lol! 😃
Ucwepn It's a lovely set that was widely available at the time of filming but sadly no longer in production... I would definitely have a world tour if I could hehe!
ROKMAN1445 Hey, there's plenty of more time to enjoy them! Say, what would be a good price for one of these? I can't believe that they are not in production!!! The EF 60's lasted for over 60 years!!! Here's proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JNR_Class_EF60 This thing was my favorite train out of all the Hypercity trains that were available!!! I own a few hyper liners myself.
Nigels There are still freight models available in the Tomy PlaRail range if you don't mind buying from Japan, for example the S60 - EF66 Loco & Wagons
