Vio's YouTube Videos

Excellent video showing off this vintage set Vio.

I also find it curious that the front graphics on the box shows yellow pier's but whats inside is the orange.

Wait...is that a 'chugging sound' I hear?

Those are some of the best conditioned blue coaches of that style I have seen. Usually the sticker stripe has some damages. Those old couplings are neat. Can they be swapped with modern ones (not that you would want to) just curious. I have been looking for collecting a set of 4 of these style coaches but either the ones reasonably priced where in bad condition or I would be out bid. Are there a couple of versions of these coaches?

They red wheels on the coaches look thicker than what we see now, are they?

Very hard to tell if orange or yellow, the ones in background are looking yellow and orange tinge in foreground. A more obvious difference like this in a set are in the おうふく (back and forth) Plarail, where a yellow ED-70 is a green ED-70 and vice versa, and EF-15 yellow or red.

The D-51 at this era is known to have chugging sounds. It is more like a ticking sound.

The female couplings are swap-able, but male couplings are permanent, so you have only one chance to maintain those male couplings. Or in other cases, the sticker on 1 side is fine, but the seller didn't reveal the other side which has a damaged sticker. There are 2 versions, one is the original one (in video), and the other is from the black 40th Anniversary Set (stripe is lower than the original stripe).

They are the same wheels as the normal wheels today, except the axle type is different.
