Do any of the previous releases of the commuters have sounds?

Mister No

All Enodens Type 20, Type 500 (this model) and Type 1000 (green, white and blue) have sound. Actually, there are three types of sounds: the departure sound (when you turn the sound unit on; whistle and doors), the sound of the train in motion (with occasional horn), and the stopping sound.

Also, Special Rapid Service (Series 225) has sound:

Other Plarail commuters with sound:

Plarail S-49 JR East Series E231 Sobu Line with Sound
Plarail S-43 Series E231 Suburban Train with Sound
Plarail S-46 JR Tokai Series 313 with Sound

I can’t think of any other commuter train with sound…

Nice trip down memory lane with the layouts in the videos Mr No 👍

December release

"The 275 kV outdoor standard ultra-high voltage transformer can also be mounted on the separately sold “Shinkalion CW 500 TYPE EVA Positron Form”

I’m not sure about how much I care for that transformer or the Shinkanlion, but the new release of DD51 is so very welcome!

Super for me this does not come as a shock at all for real class .

Now what is a retired steam engine that plarail could bring back for the real class range .

Mister No welcome back Plarail DD51, it’s been so long

Super

Me too, not interested in the transformer car but the two Diesels (motorized and one dummy) is what I am after. The color scheme is new as far as my collection is concerned so my order is in.

Well you have piqued my interest Mr No. I wish to see more about this grape/blue color, is it the engine or the coach cars? I do like the looks of those coaches but need to see more if I want to add them to my coaches collection. Thanks for the info Mr No 👍

Mister No

It’s the colour of the coach, I believe:
C11 No. 207 (passenger car: grape color)
C11 No. 123 (passenger car: blue)

These are the only two pictures I could find, I’m affraid.

I like both. And I hate when the trains I like are event limited editions… :/

Super

I do like the details on the middle coaches (the ones I am interested in), different, I am assuming that all those windows in its rear are…observation areas??? Come to think about it….the original (fat) C-11 release came with two exclusive, dark purple coaches so I am going to assume this color will be the same.

Mister No

This looks like basis for that observation car:

Super

Mister No Thank you Mr No. Very interesting that it is an open air area with some uncomfortable looking hard wooden benches to sit on so I assume that most people would stand in that area. Also, thank you for the Link. 🙂

Super

Received shipment notification…

New steam trains video:

Super

Many thanks Mr No for sharing the more details on these in this video. Because I can now see exactly what the middle coach looks like I will take a pass on this one. 😕

Mister No

My thoughts while watching this video: “Oh crap! Super isn’t going to like this middle wagon!” 😁
I’m not impressed either. The model is very simplified…
