Nankai Rapit Peach

sweet as, thanks geri. yes, i can only imagine your excitement, lol.

I have always really liked the Aussie Expression "sweet as", haven't seen it used in years!

haha, it started out, in new zealand at least, being used by people around my age back about 10 years ago. and those same people still use it today. the new younger generation have a much more impressive saying... "oosh". as in "oh, oosh, look at those earrings!" etc.

She has arrived!!!!

I must say that I have not been fond of the Nankai Rapi:t trains. Either the all blue or the silver ones but this peach is awesome. Just love the color contrasts and the flowing paint job. The oval windows are cool and they are even on the doors between each car. Although I knew it, I am surprised that this is a C battery train. Surprised because of Tomy re-releasing so many other train with Chassis Renewals for AA battery. Not a problem as the 2 speed motor is rapid and quiet. Have to give proper due to Gerisplarail1 for arranging with his friend to sell these to us and kudos to the seller as the train came very well packed in a box unlike a lot of eastern sellers that wrap them in bubble wrap and shipping paper.

Simply Gorgeous!!!!! I did not pay for the fast shipping so I am still waiting patiently for mine but it has left Japan on the plane so it won't be long now!! Also I don't know if you noticed but on the 26th of Feb another seller put these up on eBay on its release date and we still got a lower price than I believe it was the ever gracious Tokyo Hobby is charging (who by the way sent me a christmas card one year because I had been such a regular customer) BTW the card was gorgeous I'll see where it is so I can show a picture.
Special thanks to Yamato and Toshi!!!

Given the colors and egg like front & rear ends, it may even look good in an Easter themed layout.

Surely the perfect Plarail release so close to Easter, I never even thought about that, looks like I will be the first to pre-order and the last to get it, oh well I have been a patient and good boy!!!!
