What is this train?

ROKMAN1445

While watching a Densha de D gameplay, there was a brown 8 car commuter. I believe that it's a 2000 series, but tell me if I'm wrong. I'd really like to own a plarail version. Can you give me the true identification of this unit and which plarail train it is?
Densha de D is multi track drifting, or drifting for trains. It is most commonly known as an Initial D knockoff.

Densha De D! I'd say it's less of a knockoff and more of an affectionate parody.

The player has already beaten Shingo's stage and is using Keisuke's Hankyu 8200 rather then Takumi's Hankyu 2000.

At around 4:54 in the video, there is a somewhat clearer version of the front.

Why so much gibberish? Oh wait those are playable trains. I cannot find a website for this game.

It was sold on a disc, but it's long out of print. Do you possibly have a Twitter? I will gladly send you a download for Lightning Stage.

Very close! The 8000 and 8200 series' are almost identical from what I know.

ROKMAN1445

To me they're identical, but Trainzfan is right. And no, I don't have a Twitter. Maybe I should check into that...

That one Super posted was the one that sprang to mind when I watched a bit of that rather silly video lol!

ROKMAN1445

It's not silly it's gameplay from Densha de D.

I am currently uploading the game to MediaFire. I will send you a PM with the link when it finishes.

Ok thank you very much. After watching a few hours of gameplay, I think that I got the controls down good. And if I don't, well, I may have to learn from my mistakes. ;D

The keyboard controls can be very awkward. My set-up is...

Z - Accelerate
X - Brake
C - Emergency Brake
V - Change View

N - Drift Left
M- Drift Right

S - Pause

I can totally live with that. At least it's not the AWSD controls that I hate.
