So, relatively speaking this is not a very notable train set at first, but there're quite some stuff I'd like to show.
This is the Doraemon Tram, a repainted Manyosen Light Rail Vehicle 1000. This set was initially introduced as a Plarail SC, a series of trains painted with cartoon characters and such, but now it's an S one. Shinkansen 500 Hello Kitty also went through the same process.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that the two cars of this train are quite short, evidenced by the thick foam buffers and when you bring other trains to compare.
The cars of the Doraemon Tram is only longer than middle car of both S-sized Shinkansen and ES-sized train. This means that it's also shorter than the typical motor chassis. Here comes another unique part of the tram.
This tram has a custom built motor car, which you have to remove the roof to access. It's still accept AA batteries as normal. And still run like normal.
I bought this tram for one, it's Doraemon, a character that is very popular for many Vietnamese, including me, having this train is like having part of my childhood image; and two, I'd like a two-car Plarail train set to further adding the different sizes of Plarail train sets.
I'd also half hoped that I'd get the SC version as that's the image the seller showed online, but no matter.
