Plarail New Releases 2025 onwards (non-Thomas)

Agreed! It surprises me that we have not yet seen a release of a train with this style of cab as multiple similar but not identical variants have been used by various operators throughout the years. Keikyu 600 series and Keio 1000 and 3000 series all come to mind.

Plarail have produced the Keikyu 600 - blue in 2005 & 2015, red in 2016; and the Keio 1000 - seven different colour variants in 2005, three re-issued in 2015 along with a new one, and one as recently as 2023.

All were company limited editions. The Keio 3000 has not been made.

Pictures of all the boxes are displayed in the Plarail Museum here.
