I was lucky to find it on eBay for a very reasonable price. I like the "aquarium" version (black, but with fish on the tender) too, although patchwork Hiro is my favorite!
Hiro is also a very good and quiet "C" battery runner.

@ Super:
Everything's real on Hiro, Super. The windows are not holes, though, just solid black plastic, with frames in gold. There are no stickers on Hiro (except his name plate); I only wish all Plarail vehicles are made like this! Really beautiful engine. He is a fine representation of his D51 Class "Mikado". (I learned that Mikado means The Emperor of Japan.)
