The Tomica World Virgin Train #8465 is supposed to represent an Intercity 125 DMU, which is a bit of a stretch of the imagination since it is modelled with an electric pantograph on its roof. The mould is identical to the 1989 Plarail Kintetsu Urban Liner (as suggested by Super above) which itself appeared in Tomica World guise in the TW Large Set #7421.

Plarail always seems to be a bust when TOMY tries making it in the States. Yeah, Tomica World lasted a few years but it ended up fizzling out. Tomica HyperCity only lasted about a year.

I think Tomica World fared much better in the UK than the US.

Yellow is Ise Shima from the First Try Set Yellow.

And I'm not sure why the forums stated I asked about the "Pendolino". It was wonge who asked, not me. Did somebody edit my quote without my permission?

Yeah that was me by accident. I don't know how to get a users quote if they've already quoted something in their post, ill try to fix it.

Thanks Vio. My mind is mush as I have recently seen so much of the yellow 'Shima' while searching for the First Try D-51-882 Why didn't I remember that...well..at the least I remembered a yellow one..not full blown codger yet  Undecided
