WowWee...look at this hard to find gem that appeared from the big box of goodies....the Original C-11 with the rare Dark Purple Express Coaches. in original box and track, I love it. Smile

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - Mister No - 11-15-2021

Wow, it's the old "My Home Town" series... My favourite from that series would be the 813 series train! Smile

There was a series of videos from a guy who collected them all (My Hometown sets), but it seems (of course) I can't find it now on YT...?

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - Super - 11-15-2021

Looking at the box, it seems there were 6 of these Home Town Sets released as it shows six Loops of track (one loop for each set) that can all be connected. Except for this C-11, the others are all Commuters.

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - Mister No - 11-15-2021

Oh, here I found it! All trains in that series are shown on this channel. The boxes are opened one by one (starting with the steam train) and each time a new loop is added and connected to the others in the way shown on the box itself. Cool! Smile

To just add a little more detail, the 'My Home Town's Train Set' series were released Nov 26th, 2002, and are:

Hokkaido 北海道 East Japan 東日本 Tokai 東海

West Japan 西日本 Shikoku 四国 Kyushu 九州

When the rails in the six sets are connected together as shown, the resulting layout is intended to represent the islands/regions that comprise the Japanese archipelago.

Thank you fellas...I sure didn't know all that. Smile

And....a couple more from the box...

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - Super - 11-16-2021

Sure wish they still made these super sets...

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - chrisjo - 11-16-2021

That's the JR Kyushu Special Set that has the unique 883 srs with a yellow nose.

The 787 and the 883 also differ from the regular ones in the detail on the lower body below 'footplate' level.

RE: WOOHOO! Its Been A Long Time - Super - 11-17-2021

So do you know if this is set the only way to get the Yellow Nosed 883?
