Wow Another Oldie!

@Super,

This is a Plarail New Densha sold between 1972 and 1974.

Note: There were THREE Plarail New Densha sold between 1972 and the late 1970s. There were minor modifications between them. I am almost certain this one is New Densha Version 1.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Plarnold

Version one, I can see why it is a high asking price now. Do you happen to know if the sides are reflective or chrome? I can't seem to find much info on any real trains.

Yes, I had to go on that dreaded site and have a look for myself!!lol
I think you are right.. It is iridescent an most likely just impossible to photograph.
Sure would be a marquee piece in a collection!!
Seems like these don't come around too often?

Why do you hate eBay? I once got some Rokenbok from eBay, and it was in perfect condition!!!

Please don't get me wrong ROKMAN1445...I love these auction sites so much that once I am on them I lose any sense of self control and spend any extra bit of money I have on these beautiful trains leaving myself in a constant scramble to keep up with maintaining all of the real life bills and monetary commitments...I'm not complaining because it's the life we choose, I just dread clicking to look because I know where it always leads me...back the poor house.

At least, while you are in your poor house you can go into your great train room and play.

Yes, this train is glossy, reflective and chrome-plated. Be careful though, some of it can peel off if not taken care of properly.
