The Jex 007 are meant to be magnetic levitation or maglev trains. The direct translation of the common Japanese phrasing seems to be "linear motor" after the type of motor that maglev trains use. The wheels are transparent to represent that a real magnetic levitation train wouldn't have traditional wheels and as far as I know are all fitted with transparent wheels

The last train is also a "linear motor" train using the same tooling from a Pokemon Diablock set. It was discussed a few years ago here.

The all white version of the same linear motor train was distributed with stickers to decorate it. The regular three-car release with red chassis was introduced in 1999 and the yellow power and tail car were a 2000 Plarail Club exclusive giveaway

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
