Hanshin train 8000

I am not recalling ever seeing this train before but I could be wrong. Maybe its known by another name? Could this be new, old, rare? Since I don't see a Tomy Product Number on the front of the box I have to assume that this was a special release. The color scheme seems to pop out at ya. My search did turn up the real ones but not a Tomy/Plarail release.

Brand new release this month sold at the Hanshin station stores and from the Hanshin station website:

Wow, Thanks Geris,

Since Hobby Search didn't show that these were coming I had no idea. Are all those trains in the links new, to be released models?

Nankai Southern Premium is already out for over a year now, same with Hanshin 1000 both are just location specific releases which is also the case with the Hanshin 8000 you pictured (released this month) and the other Hanshin 8000 due out next month I think.

Holy smokes, I didn't know there have been so many location specific releases, thanks for that info. I am surprised I had not noticed the Nankai Southern at least on the Yahoo auctions if it has been out that long. Oh, geesh. Suzukawa did a video of it almost 2 years ago that I completely missed. The real one is nice looking as is the Plarail release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_uUc-iCOng She also has a video on the Hanshin 1000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3IIvsJW7Sg I need to pay more attention.

dont fret, it is alot to process it is quite easy to get discombobulated with the enormous amount of Plarail Tomy releases!
