Sascha Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I found this picture on Pintres. That's a funny looking train. It reminds me on Toblerone chocolate. Any info about it? Is it out as model? Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Actually it does look cute! But the commuters would be kissing each other! :P 1 Link to comment

So I will need to 'Sumimasen' all the way to the door.... Well, at least knees touching are not so bad (or not so good for some) than lips touching in the Toblerone train ~~ :P 1 Link to comment
Densha Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Apparently some British person made the toblerone train into an actual model: https://twitter.com/uwemon/status/799209530861096960 Link to comment

kvp Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) It's a 762mm (30 inch) gauge train? Yes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokkaichi_Asunarou_Railway_Hachi%C5%8Dji_Line On the other hand, i don't see anything really wrong as most inner city trams have exactly this width. The width has the same proportion to the track gauge as most straight body cape gauge trains. Edited November 17, 2016 by kvp Link to comment
marknewton Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 No, the original was a train on the Kintetsu Hokusei line, now owned by Sangi Railway. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangi_Railway_Hokusei_Line 270 series motor cars and 170 series trailers: Cheers, Mark. Link to comment
