Most wanted train.

[Sascha]

Just out of curiosity. What do y'all think is the most wanted Japanese train model.

HHmmm.. similar topic somewhere posted before but couldn't find it. I would highly recommend:

 

1) East-I inspection train.

Really most wanted as seen on Yahoo Auctions, even for used sets.  

 

2) Used to be E655 Nagomi with special carriage, until Kato recently re-released them

 

3) Usually the trend on Yahoo Auctions is anything that is hand-painted and customised will be highly wanted, ending with enormous bids...

 

4) I've seen some private railways train that is really highly wanted, but i'm not so good at private railways so...

We all have our favourite trains, and favourite railway companies.  I don't think you'd ever know what is the most wanted model.

I'd really love a model of 

 

 

Including the material and machine wagons

You mean like this GreenMax kit?

obviously keio 5000 in a competently done and modern ready-to-run set.

 

 

well, this probably isn't the *most* wanted, but it would certainly sell like hotcakes in keio and fujikyu liveries.

 

beyond that, Hanzoumon Eidan 8000 which I am sure is coming from either microace or kato or both.

 

i think a ginza 1000 would sell well, as would an odakyu 1000:

 

 

finally to show i'm not entirely tokyo oriented, i'd also like to suggest the BR class 365 and the new 320 eurostar :)

[HantuBlauLOL]

personally i want a Toei 6000..

with or without the Indonesian chicken wire and slapdash cab up front?

[Fenway Park]

I would love it if Kato made a 8620 or a C51

Thanks Densha! Remember seeing this somewhere... That's another for the unlikely models to re-release, but that's another story...

 

How about the following models:

 

1) Seven Stars of Kyushu

2) E3-2000 Tsubasa new colour - we don't even have a model of the E3-2000 yet....

3) Former Odakyu 20000 Asagiri in new Fujikyu cartoon colouring - fan of painted trains!

Nope, i want to model it on its early years in Indonesia ;)

I'd like to get an Odakyu 2000 ready to run.

 

I have the Greenmax kit but it's abysmally loud, was missing a few parts, and I got glue on the front windows and some of the paint, which stripped it off when I tried to get rid of the glue. it'd be nice to not have to worry about doing it myself.
