E001 - Is This Train Made In PlaRail?

Nigels

I don't know about you, but every now and again I stumble across a train I think would make a great PlaRail model, here's one I came across in the latest hobby search mailshot, a type E001. What do you think you reckon this would make a good model? Would you buy it? What would you like to see them make?

A Plarail form of this train should be appearing soon in the near future.

That is a very unique design for sure with what looks like observation decks front and rear. I am curious to what the inside of the coaches look like with those small windows. Not sure if I would be purchasing one if Plarail released one, I would have to see it first.

@Plarnold
Thank you for that headsup. Do you know if it will be Limited Edition or general retail release?

Thanks super, I want a model of this train even more now 🙂

Super

LOL, Nigels

I am wondering what the model will look like with the 'squished' look of the Plarail line. One thing for sure, to me, I hope they use the dining car with molded and tinted windows rather than those coaches with the tiny windows which look somewhat odd to me. Hopefully it will look a bit better than the Plarail JR251...

Hmm, that's a good point Super, just have to pray they make an Advance version as well then lol!

plarnold

The chances of an Advance version is almost zero.

Somehow I fear you are correct, although we had the new stations etc... last year there have been very few new trains offered since... 🙁

plarnold

Oh no. 🙁 None of the stores were selling Plarail Advance so it must be true.

Notice - End of Plarail Advance series

It was fun when it lasted though.

I wasn't into the Advance line but its always sad to see an entire series being canceled for those that are. Thanks Plarnold.

Nigels

Oh well, guess I'll have to get as much of it as I can while its still available, although on the plus side there should be some good deals on stuff on clearance 🙂

Seems a strange decision after the effort of creating the fancy station etc... last year though...
