I know its probably not intentional, but I like to imagine the url is just one long scream of terror.

[railsquid]

Well it is "Limtied" (sic)

Not that these are crazy prices, but I did not know that the Pennsylvania Railroad and Burlington Northern used the EF70...

Of course the seller would be from the Valley. Always expect the unexpected when up there! 

 

Hard to believe it merits a whole $5 for shipping. They definitely have a head full of hot air .

I think that’s about the minimum to ship a box of air priority air and you would want pritority to keep it from going stale. We want fresh la air!

I got the same one!  The seller must think there's a lot of interest from everyone checking it out due to this thread.

...Speaking of which, does anyone want to drop 203,000 Yen?

Is that a custom job for the Seven Stars train?  The translation did not say much

[Suica]

And the moment you buy it it gets announced by Kato. 

[railsquid]

Yup, it's a custom job, featured in RM Models magazine 2014-09. Evidently someone wants it enough, starting price was 50000 yen.

Are we implying that Kato hasn't announced the Seven Stars in Kyushu yet?

 

[Philphil]

Man, that train would have been a steal at 203,000 yen, considering it went up to 321,000 Yen before the auction ended!

Or it is a strange Shinkansen...  (Also look at the "Character Type" field in the listing tech data)

[railsquid]

You haven't lived until you've seen a 113 series hurtling along the Tohoku Shinkansen coupled with a 200 series.

Challenging 300s to a drag for pink slips.
