Finally!

Finally we were able to secure the very old/ long out of print P33 Yurakucho 7000 WITH ITS BOX!!
Kinda got in a bidding war over it, so I had to set my alarm this morning @ 5:30 to finish off the battle...when the smoke cleared, old glory stood tall! 🙂

Nice one Muddy, I like some of the commuter/underground type trains as well, some are pretty cool 🙂

Super

I am not familiar with that one Muddy but if you were after it it must be something. Any background info you can share?

I remember seeing something similar except it has a green stripe instead of yellow. Sadly the ones I saw on ebay are somewhat in a rough shape.

I can't find too much about the Yurakucho 7000 other than its early 2000's (stamped 2002) and has red wheels. There are a few different models...and orange striped model w/ lights, and also the metallic silver model w/green stripe that Leyland mentioned.
They are very similar to BART trains of the San Francisco area here in California.
I did find a web site in Indonesia that had lots of Plarail info about these but unfortunately I am unable to read it.🙁

Thank you Chrisjo 🙂

MuddyPoppins

Yes thank you Chrisjo, but I still can't read it...
Are the other 2 that are shown also 7000's?
Does it say when it was made?

chrisjo

The yellow one is called 'Yurakucho Line 7000 Series', the green one is 'Namboku Line 9000 Series', and the red one 'Tokyu Meguro Line 3000 series', but I don't think the latter two are similar to the 7000. So that wasn't the best picture to put here, sorry. I'm still looking for a release date for the 7000.

Thank you chrisjo!!
Yes there are a few variations of the 7000 series, but I am after the release date of the yellow striped version.

there is also a 10000 as well, but it and the others do not look the same either.
Thank you again!🙂
