Clear Tandem C-62's???

Super

After all the researching I have done about Plarails I am amazed that there still are trains I have not heard of. Here is a clear set of tandem C-62's with sound just like the hard to find Tandem set the Silver Swallow. Wonder if this might have been some special give away, Plarail Club Exclusive or very Limited Edition. Anyone have any knowledge of it?

those are awesome! wish i had the money for them. would be great on a halloween theme layout.

Fantastic! From the description they seem to be one of a kind, and that even Plarail itself doesn't have a copy!?

Super

Oh , you are right, the seller did say this "it was the winning product of something of the campaign." So it must have been some kind of special give away, maybe like the Gold Thomas.

MuddyPoppins

Yes! A "campaign of the lucky draw".
It's discribed with a lot of information...more so than most listings. The seller seems to know quite a bit about it, and to have shopped it around. Kind of suggests that it's a great investment opportunity at this price for someone who knows the right buyer somewhere for a resale/ flip profit.

Super are you gonna take a crack at these?

Super

Naw, I am not a clear kinda guy!

I would get this regardless of the price. It just looks awesome and could be a one off piece

MuddyPoppins

Ok thanks Super! I guess Bkvir208 and I are gonna go after them together as a joint venture! 🙂

i would love them, but the conversion came to something like $250nzd, and thats without all the other fees and costs! 😮

Does anyone know if there is a non-clear (assuminly less rare) version like this with sound?

Super

Yes, its the Silver Swallow Set and the sound is awesome. I can't seem to locate a box image.

Oh wow. Yes that does sound very good. Ok that is next on the want (need to have/might as well) list. 😃

What does the box look like for these? I am not finding much searching for Plarail silver swallow set.

I did a few more searches and found this tread:

And I believe this is the set: (?)

Yes, thats the set Ripley, notice the mis-spelling?

Real Sound Steem Locomotive C62 Dobble Impact

If you think one sounds awesome, try running it with 2 sound engines in a back to back to back configuration its great.

I cycled though all of the listings in “sets” on Jauce and nothing so far, but I am in the hunt now. 😃. I would not mind them to be loose either but the box would be nice to have too.

These clear ones should be awesome. I hope Muddy and Bkvir get them.

Also curious if this is the only Steam Tandem set? I see these in bulk lots from time to time but want to ensure if I go after it, it is the sound version. 😃

Super

The Silver Swallow Set is the only Tandem C62's I am aware of, well except for the clear one shown here. If fact, I think it may be the only Plarail Steam Tandems made but I could be wrong. There are the old style C12's with a front hook that come in the Snow Blower Sets but they were not Tandems.

ripley802

Wow..the price shot up there for these. Did you guys win them Muddy/BKvir?

Super

Wow, it sure did, then it had to be quite rare.
