chadbag Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Kind of looks 50's era "future" style Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Looks like it came from a Residents album! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Residents jeff Link to comment

Lina_Blue Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I must say, I like the front. The interiour, can't say much about it. I hope there will be a model of it, would go nice with my 40000s. 1 Link to comment

Suica Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It was all fun and memes when it still was just a 3D render... now it's simply terrifying. 3 Link to comment
ben_issacs Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Folks, From March of next year, Seibu Rly. Co. will introduce a new, eight car luxury train to replace their 25 years old 'Red Arrows'. This train will be called 'Laview' (Don't ask!). Livery, mainly white with a pale green band below window level. No indication of how many train sets. The driver's front window is domed. Which model train co. will be the first to bring out a model of this train? Regards, Bill, Melbourne. Edited December 5, 2018 by cteno4 Moved to this thread from new thread 1 Link to comment

VentureForth Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) It looks like a bug-eyed Pokémon. I kinda like it. Kinda like I like the Nankai Rapit. Edited December 12, 2018 by VentureForth 1 Link to comment

VentureForth Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Usually the real rolling stock doesn't meet the hype of the artist conceptions. In this case, I'm sure glad it didn't! 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Really is the Residents take on the Oscar Meyer wienermobile with a little spalash of teletubbies... jeff Link to comment

Quote No indication of how many train sets. 7 sets of 8 cars, cf.: http://www.seiburailway.jp/news/news-release/2018/20181026Laview.pdf Which is down from 12 10000 series sets, which leads me to speculate they will not be replacing 10000 series sets 1 for 1, rather they will not be running these monstrosities on the Seibu Shinjuku line (yay!) and will be using 40000 series for the express services to Hon-Kawagoe. Which is not a line you'd really need large windows for anyway as apart from some fleeting views of Mt. Fuji there's not much of interest to see. Edited January 16, 2019 by railsquid speculation rather than conclusion! 1 Link to comment
Davo Dentetsu Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I must be the weird one here, as I don't mind it now as opposed to... I dunno, whatever the renders where meant to convey. Link to comment

gavino200 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I like it. It looks very retro future. Like how the future looked in old movies. 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It’s feeling like it’s design is trying a little too hard. Interior doe not have the simple elegance like the rapit’. Exterior just feels blah. jeff Link to comment
railsquid Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I saw this stabled in the yard at Kotesashi a few weeks ago. I suspect the view from inside the train looking outwards will be better than vice-versa ;). Link to comment
EH500 (12) Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That thing looks like a mentally challanged dildo. 3 Link to comment
