Mom's Grad-Gift!: Kintetsu Urban Liner

These type of plarail trains (express or shinkansen types) typically have the two speed motors. The newer ones run on an AA battery the older ones a C type battery. Generally the latter are way quieter in my experience and one of my favourite motor types made by Tomy

Sometimes they will have a sound chip and/or working headlights as well, although I don't think this particular model does - although correct me if I'm wrong.

Overall a nice loco to start your plarail collection.

This one is just a runner, no lights or sounds, and while it isn't the quietest, it isn't the loudest either. Thank you for clarifying the type of drive unit, Nigels!

Are these types of Kintetsu Urban Liners rare, because it didn't mention anywhere that it was 2-speed, and I got it for only 52 dollars as opposed to every other listing which started at 1,000 dollars if I remember correctly.
