Nice to see some new trains from Tomy, but neither are particularly earth shattering and seem to be just re-works of pre-existing models Sad

I didn't know there had been another tandem EH800 before but then I haven't seen everything.

Yeah, I think the EH800 is new because the locomotives themselves have only been in service 2-3 years.

When I saw it, I had this crazy idea of running it at the lead of a long container train through a long stretch of drain pipe to simulate the Seikan Tunnel! Big Grin

(Yes, the drain pipe as Seikan Tunnel idea was totally ripped from Taskforce2008.)

Plarail Mike also had a cool tube tunnel made from a PVC pipe I think. Starts at about the 0:32 minute mark.

Thanks Super! It looks like Mike achieved some great looking results with relatively simple materials.

Sorry Super I may be confusing it with another red dual engine PlaRail (albeit a different loco type) Smile
