Thats a shame especially when the US doesn't have one of these kinds of layout. Can someone tell me the Series number of the Yamanote type commuter car with the Blue stripe thanks.

I don't know exactly what happened, but this was a rental layout shop only and it seems the business model did not work.  I guess the owner couldn't make a living off it.

If it's the one in the first video, then it's the Sotetsu 10000 series.

And it will be available from Tomix.  It looks so similar.

 

[glow=red,2,300]EDIT[/glow]Oops that's the Sotestu 11000 from Tomix.

 

 

As of now the sale date is undecided.  I would suggest this will happen during fiscal 2010 in Japan , between April 2010 and March 2011.

The model in the video was a MicroAce model though.
