The yellow commuter looks like a 103 series

No, that is actually 101 Series. The 103 Series did not exist during that time.

ahhhh, ok.
Just looking at it now, the 101 and 103 series trains look exactly the same. No wonder I thought it was a 103

101 has a different headlight. 103 has 2 small lights inside 1 lamp but the 101 has only 1 flashlight lamp.

Hankyu 6300, Commuter Limited Express. One of the Winter Era Plarail along with the Relay Shinkansen, Melody D51 and Melody Tohoku Joetsu Shinkansen that endangered the popularity and manufacturing period of many other Winter Era Plarails. Manufactured for only 1 year in 1984, and only sold in the Kansai region of Japan. A stale product in the eyes of children, yet a Phantom Gem of Plarail that make collectors cry.

Nice. There is one for sale now with no bids, although a high price

Exactly, I mentioned it before: https://blueplastictracks.com/showthread...8#pid49518
My suggestion is: Do not buy it. That thing has been there for nearly 2 or 3 years now. A new in box Hankyu 6300 is expected to be 45000 yen or more. There was a Hankyu 6300 in nearly unused condition that I lost last time at 33500 yen.

Cross Bridge 46

[Super]

It is a neat Drawbridge and may make for some interesting scary crossings in a multi-track Layout. Looks like the springs lost something being in the stretched position for so many years. Strange how the springs work perfectly without the bottom plate on.

You mean THIS?



I don't think its the springs that are weak, although I heard that they lose tension in a certain position. The bottom plate is touching the drawbridge's arm so it might cause friction. Grease doesn't help.
