ID please - chrisjo - 11-01-2018

Can I have a name and origin for this please?

RE: ID please - Nigels - 11-01-2018

Hi Chris,

Isn't that one of the Hyper-City trains? I'm not sure its necessarily modelled on a standard 'real' train. Although I could be wrong, I'm sure one of the experts will tell us Big Grin

Cheers, Nigel

Its the Boso View Express. We had a discussion on it last year when member Bollard brought it up. Lots of info an videos here https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?tid=2673&highlight=Boso

RE: ID please - Nigels - 11-01-2018

See I told you an expert would be along shortly - just like commuter trains Big Grin

That's nice, I just nabbed one from ebay for peanuts. AKA Tomica World 'Inter Rail', item #7462.

Good for you Chris. Here is a gray wheeled one going for quite a bit https://www.jauce.com/auction/m291575154

That one looks like it's got considerable damage across the front though.

RE: ID please - bollard - 11-02-2018

oops oh yes i see

RE: ID please - chrisjo - 11-07-2018

Well, it turned out that the damage wasn't as bad as it looked, just black felt-pen marks that will hopefully come off, but really it was the extra Boso View coach I had an eye on anyway. A pity I didn't notice that a black perspex window strip was missing.

What I did notice however, and the star of the show for me (apart from scoring another red & white express coach, always welcome), and the reason I was silently cursing you for advertising the lot while it was still live!, is these:

No Plakids unfortunately.

And now I've got another question, a request for information about the origin of this spare coach that I don't remember coming across before, and it's much easier to ask here than to spend hours searching?
