@Trainfanz

Package's Logo is "TOMY".

In USA, "TAKARATOMY" don't use only "TOMY"..?

Unfortunately I don't believe TakaraTomy Mall ships outside of the country, Jukio. Anyone who really wants this release would have to find a middleman service.

Wowwww... I love this set.
Thanks jukiodaisuki-san for this information.

That's meant this year Tomy will launch several the 60th Anniversary items that we never know before.
This set is one of the 60th Anniverary, will release in June.

Oh...Mod...that is an interesting new set. Red Liner, I hadn't heard of this style before...I think? The working Pantographs are first time for Plarails right? Looks like a good candidate for a lighting Mod. I can't tell for sure in this picture but it seems like there is something in the coach and end cars windows. If those are stickered passengers then that would turn me off, but if there is some 3D items on the inside that are visible then I am in. I am not impressed with those flat backed tree clumps or the skinny station platform. That kind of quality seems out of place in a Plarail set but then again I am old and use to better. I am not a big fan of collecting the Commuter Trains but I may be interested in the train for sure but not the whole set.

Thanks for the heads up Mod Smile

Working pantographs? Really? That's kinda cool.

Hi Super.. This picture will guide you an answer for 3D items or stickered. Big Grin

Thank you Mod, that is a much better up close picture.

I can see that it doesn't look like stickered windows with passengers but something on the inside of the coaches, good. Wonder if it might be translucent where a light behind the passengers would have a neat effect running at night. What looks odd to me is that they have the passengers in both the center coach and trailing car but none in the windows of the lead engine which makes that stand out. Something that looks quite nice is what looks like wheel truck details. This looks very neat to my eye doesn't have the fake wheels which makes the trucks look real over the actual wheels. I am liking it. Wonder if there is a seat for a second PlaKid in the trailing engine. I don't see a picture of any PlaKids in the List of whats in the box so I am curious if the fellow in the front of the engine comes with the set or just there to show a PlaKid can be placed there.
