I’m sure at some point as many odder trains get made eventually.

I agree it's just a matter of time. I would definitely buy it. I have the February 2023 Japan Railfan Magazine with it on the cover.

 

Listing some of the more weird trains that eventually were done in n-scale: the Nankai Rapi:t (in multiple liveries), the Eizan Series 700 Hiei, the Seibu Laview 001, ... not to mention all the wacky special painted trains: the Series 287 Panda Kuroshio Train (both Kato and Tomix), Hello Kitty, Eva, Disney Waku Waku Trip,... that all seem to get done by someone.

 

I will admit to having collected many of these.

 

I've also preordered the Toei 6500.

I aim to have the most eclectic collection of trains.

The  Toei 6500 has a Thomas the tank vibe for some reason but its a nice looking train. 

 

Its funny you mention Hello Kitty because I just purchased that set,

 

The cool yet strange one for me is Evangelion I really like that set in N scale but at $1,000 per set no thanks lol.

 

maihama eki is there a way to see your collection of electric trains?

Very obscure. Either-

 

Toy like Tomytec or uber expensive MicroAce/Greenmax.

I would definitely buy it as I love the look & feel. 

 

Same look as the train in Divergent (01:10) .... probably inspired by ....

Only Tomytec and MA ever released Osaka Metro trains. I will hope for MA on this one.

Hmmm, not getting any Thomas vibes from the Toei 6500 though I admit it does have something of a slabsided look as did the original Express Coaches from the model series.

The Toei 6500 is a Borg cube, and nothing else. Resistance is very much futile.

Kinda looks like a rubix cube. Nevertheless I would love to run that on my commuter track

You really didn't have to post this into two different parts of the forum 🙂

Really?
